You're In Recovery When You Say You Are

However you define your recovery, Gamecock Recovery is here for you. We embrace all pathways of recovery, strengthening the relationships, resources, and services that have already been working for you.

Peer-Based Mutual Aid Meetings

Mutual aid meetings facilitate the exchange of recovery skills, sharing of challenges, and celebration of successes among people with similar experiences. We offer a variety of recovery meetings throughout the week—including moderation support, meditation and mindfulness practice, boundary-setting, and self-care—facilitated by students like you. 

Gamecock Recovery meetings are held when classes are in session during Fall and Spring semesters. Please consult the academic calendar for more information.

Recovery Dharma	Tuesdays 4-5 p.m. | Carolina Coliseum 4003 Mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion are critical tools in our journey. Recovery Dharma offers a peer-led, non-theistic approach to recovery based on Buddhist principles. Each meeting consists of a guided meditation, readings of Buddhist-inspired literature, and sharing. This meeting is hosted by Gamecock Recovery volunteers, to bring this approach to the USC community. We utilize meeting materials from Recovery Dharma but are not affiliated with the organization.
All Recovery	Wednesdays 6-7 p.m. | Carolina Coliseum 4003 Each person’s path is unique and reflects their personal strengths. Bringing people together from multiple recovery pathways, All Recovery meetings focus on the hope and healing found in recovery, provide an opportunity to learn from varying perspectives, and increase connection with others who strive to maintain a recovery lifestyle. This is a "closed meeting," intended for students who identify as being in recovery or seeking recovery. Visitors are welcome at any of our other meetings and events.
That's Some BS! (Boundaries and Self-Care)	Thursdays 4-5 p.m. | Carolina Coliseum 4003 Addiction is a family disease. That's Some BS! meetings are an opportunity to learn together strategies to take care of ourselves, heal our hurt, protect our boundaries, and become healthy individuals—regardless of the choices our loved ones are making. Open to all students whose relationships have been impacted by toxic expectations.

Recovery Coaching

Recovery coaches are collaborative partners in the recovery process, trained to support people in recovery as they build confidence, sustain motivation, overcome barriers and connect to recovery resources. Recovery coaching is free for students in recovery from substance use disorder, those considering recovery, and those impacted by addiction in their relationships.

Recovery Allies

Through Recovery Ally workshops, Gamecock Recovery strives to empower students, faculty and staff to make campus more supportive of students in recovery from substance use disorder. Learn to: confront myths and stigma about substance use disorder; use and model acts of allyship in everyday interactions; and identify, access, and direct people to recovery resources at USC.

Addiction & Recovery-Informed Seminar (ARISE) Series

Our Addiction and Recovery-Informed Seminar (ARISE) Series provides a platform for recovery voices and creates a community forum to explore different dimensions and perspectives on addiction and recovery.

Nutrition Consultations

Any student can make an appointment to meet for a free one-on-one nutrition consultation with our Registered Dietician. Initial nutrition appointments may involve gathering a health history, reviewing the food record form, discussing medical nutrition interventions or education, and behavior change guidance.

Our dieticians use Health at Every Size^TM principles and will not make weight loss a goal.

Cooking Workshops
Cooking Workshops are offered throughout the semester to students and campus groups. These take place in our demonstration kitchen.

 

The Healthy Carolina Farmers Market provides a place for students, faculty, and staff to access local produce and food items, as well as to build their communities of well-being. Each week, visit our local vendors and campus partners from 10:00am-2:00pm on Greene Street.
