An alternative housing option is available for Case students who want to reside in a substance-free, recovery-based house. Open to eligible undergraduate, graduate and professional school students from Case, Cleveland Institute of Music, Cleveland Institute of Art and the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, Recovery House assists resident students in developing healthy life skills while remaining free of alcohol and other drugs. The mission is both simple and challenging: to help our students at risk regain their ability to remain an active student, make healthy choices and to contribute to Case's powerful learning environment. Recent studies suggest that a live-in, recovery-focused facility may improve the chances of a student continuing studies while developing healthy life practices for the future.
Recovery House is located on Murray Hill Road. It is a two-unit, apartment-house for six residents and a graduate resident director. Resident students develop an individualized plan for continued sobriety along with personal health objectives, and are encouraged to assist each other in creating a safe and supportive place to live, study, and play free of alcohol and other drugs. The Recovery House Advisory Board assists residents with their personal recovery plans. Members of the board include faculty, staff & students from Case and health professionals from the Cleveland community.
Recovery House is a cooperative effort of the Office of Housing and Residence Life, The Collegiate Behavioral Health Advisory Council, University Counseling Services, Francis Payne Bolton School of Nursing, Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences and the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center.
