As we navigate these unprecedented times, it’s crucial for educational institutions, recovery centers, and support networks to come together and provide tailored solutions. By acknowledging the unique needs of college students and adapting recovery programs accordingly, we can help mitigate the impact of the pandemic on their well-being and pave the way for a healthier future.
