Abstract

This article focuses on a study from Loyola University Chicago examining treatment modalities for alcohol or other drug-related use disorders among college students. Using national data from the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment III (2019-2022), the study analyzed 1,816 students and compared recovery outcomes across different treatment types, including medication, therapy, combined therapy and medication, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), 12-Step programs, and no treatment. Results showed that participation in AA/NA/12-Step programs or combined therapy and medication was associated with significantly higher recovery scores across the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s four recovery domains: health, home, purpose, and community. The findings highlight the importance of social support and integrated treatment approaches in enhancing recovery and suggest implications for designing individualized university recovery programs.
