Mission & Vision
Mission Statement
The mission of the Center for Addiction Recovery (CAR) is to provide comprehensive and
effective recovery support services to college students in recovery from alcohol and/or drug
addiction. CAR also strives to increase the knowledge and understanding of addiction and
recovery among students, researchers, clinicians, and the rural community through education and
translational research.
Vision Statement
The vision of CAR is to expand the footprint and sustainability of the program, establish
collaborations across campus, foster partnerships with community-based organizations, and
engage in community-focused education and research to amplify the voices of people with
addiction and those in recovery from addiction, particularly in rural communities.
The Center for Addiction Recovery will:
- Provide college students in recovery with a wide range of services to ensure academic success.
- Empower our students to live a life of recovery, independence, meaning, and sense of purpose.
- Leverage collaborations with campus and community partners to provide peer education on substance use prevention, addiction, and recovery with the ultimate goal of reducing addiction stigma and increasing access to treatment and recovery services.
- Engage in research that contributes to the improvement of interventions and strategies to treat addiction and sustain recovery.
