Seahawks in Recovery
There are lots of resources at UNCW for students in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction, gambling addiction, and those affected by other people's addiction. There are 12 step meetings every day in Wilmington; many are within walking distance of campus. CROSSROADS can refer you to campus and community resources, help you plan for your transition into UNCW, and connect you to other Seahawks in Recovery. Call our office at (910) 962-4136 or stop by either of our offices in DePaolo Hall #2105 or Student Recreation Center #104.
On this page, you will find information about campus resources, community resources and 12 step meetings, and helpful links for those looking for treatment and wanting to know more about addiction.
