Substance Free Recovery Housing

Located in Cowell College apartments, UCSC’s Substance Free Recovery Housing offers students in recovery, and 100% committed to living completely substance free, the opportunity to live together in community. This unique community apartment is centered around camaraderie and support, especially in that everyone living in recovery housing agrees to fully adhere to the substance free recovery theme. The residents are supported by The Cove, UCSC’s Harm Reduction and Recovery Community Center where professional and student staff can offer information, health and wellness coaching, peer education, mentorship, and referrals, as needed. The Cove is near the apartment and also offers a large substance free community and space, substance free events, and much more
