Substance Use Recovery

Mountaineers who are in recovery from substance use disorders can use these resources to support their recovery journey.

WVU Collegiate Recovery

The WVU Collegiate Recovery program is an on-campus resource that provides opportunities for students to make changes and live a healthy campus lifestyle. By connecting with fellow students, this group helps support and encourage all who are in recovery.

Serenity Place, the home of WVU Collegiate Recovery, is located at 628 Price Street. This safe space provides students a place for meeting, studying, relaxing and more.

The program hosts weekly activities, events and trainings for those interested.

CHESS Health

" Connections: from CHESS Health" is a smartphone app provided by a partnership between WVU and the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. This app allows West Virginia residents who are struggling with substance use disorders to talk with others and gain support through personal connection.

Those who use the app have access to discussion groups, calendar reminders and tools to monitor their recovery progress. The app can be used with an alias to allow for anonymity.

Download the app on the App Store or  Google Play.

Campus Naloxone Locations

Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids, including heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioid medications when given in time.

The WVU Collegiate Recovery Program has installed 50 opioid overdose rescue kits, known as “Naloxboxes,” across campus. These kits contain two doses of naloxone and training materials instructing individuals how to administer the drug during an overdose. The kits were made possible through funding from the West Virginia Drug Intervention Institute, West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources and WVU Collegiate Recovery Program.
