Universities nationwide are moving to establish on-campus recovery programs, some including residences, for students who have gone through drug or alcohol treatment. Plans are in the works for programs at Southern Methodist University in Texas and for a facility near New York University. Those schools would join Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Texas Tech and Rutgers University in New Jersey, which have established programs. It?s part of a trend of schools realizing they should provide resources for students with substance abuse problems, says Matt Russell, an associate director at Texas Tech?s College for the Study of Addiction and Recovery.
