What does recovery actually look like when you’re a college student?

In this episode, Sam sits down with Louis Alvey and Jonathan Ignacio from Care & Support to talk about addiction, recovery, and why having a supportive community can make such a difference. They talk about the stigma that can make it hard to ask for help, what recovery can look like beyond substance use, and how students can find support without feeling like they have to hit “rock bottom” first.

They also talk about Celebrate Recovery, peer support, counseling, and the different ways students can take that first step. Most importantly, the conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to struggle alone — and there’s no wrong door when it comes to getting support.
