Students in Recovery

During the 2016 spring semester at the University of New Mexico, 5 students in recovery (pictured above) recognized the lack of recovery support services on campus and came together with the help of UNM’s Campus Office of Substance Abuse Prevention (COSAP) to create an organization dedicated to providing those services - the result was Associated Students in Recovery (ASIR). Many mistakes were made in ASIR’s nascent years, such as an absence of an organizational structure and diversity, which caused it to flounder. Moreover, ASIR lacked a clear vision and ability to adequately provide recovery support services to its members and students at UNM. With a renewed sense of purpose, a new structure, and a slightly new name - the Association for Students in Recovery or simply ASIR - we are now prepared to address organizational weaknesses and provide recovery support services for students in recovery at UNM.

ASIR will continuously pursue the following at UNM

1. Weekly recovery meetings that utilize numerous recovery and support meeting structures, such as 12-Step, SMART Recovery, Book Studies, etc.

2. A permanent recovery space where people in recovery can always go and find a welcoming and supportive environment during the school year
