By creating a climate of openness at colleges and universities across the United States, more
students will feel like they are able to be recovery from a multitude of
disorders regarding substance use, addiction, and mental health. Recovery at a
young age is a difficult and often shameful process regarding college, and not
having resources to combat the issues during such a stressful time can cause
higher dropout rates, or many people not attending college at all due to an
obvious lack of available resources. With the UNT CRP being an integrated
program not only for substance misuse, but behavioral and mental health, UNT is
working to create and prosper more resources for students. A hefty percentage
of the dropout rate for college freshmen is due to mental health concerns,
which are typically co-occurring with substance use disorders. More students
can successfully complete degrees while at college by utilizing resources at a
college level. With an increased level of advocacy for these concerns, more
people can attend college, complete degrees, and in turn successfully be
members of the ever growing educated workforce.
