Most college students who struggle with substance use face a version of the same impossible choice.
Go back to campus and try to stay sober in the same environment that accelerated the problem. Or take time away, lose academic momentum, and try to re-enter a year or two behind, with no support structure in place.
Pivot Transitional Living exists to offer a third option.
Our Collegiate Recovery Campus in Tucson is designed for college-age young men who want to pursue serious academic work while building a sustainable foundation in sobriety. Residents attend the University of Arizona or Pima Community College, live in a structured, sober environment, and receive the clinical support, 12-step mentorship, and peer community that makes academic success in early recovery realistic.
You do not have to choose between your education and your recovery. At Pivot, they are the same goal.
If you or your son is navigating that impossible choice right now, give us a call. 520-675-4082
