The Emergence and Implementation of All Recovery Meetings in Collegiate Recovery Programs: Brief Historical and Practice-Oriented Perspectives

All Recovery meetings, which emphasize inclusivity and multiple recovery pathways, have become the predominant mutual-help group format in Collegiate Recovery Programs. This paper reconstructs the emergence and diffusion of All Recovery meetings from 2014–2025 using document analysis and practitioner accounts. The model spread through accessible facilitation templates, personnel mobility across institutions, and infrastructure from national organizations like the SAFE Project and Collegiate Recovery Leadership Academy. Implementation emphasizes structured inclusivity, peer leadership, trauma-informed facilitation, and integration with clinical supports. We discuss how institutional support amplified grassroots field evolution toward pluralism, and identify critical research, practice, and policy priorities to optimize implementation and build an evidence base for this emerging approach.

Abstract

All Recovery meetings, which emphasize inclusivity and multiple recovery pathways, have become the predominant mutual-help group format in Collegiate Recovery Programs. This paper reconstructs the emergence and diffusion of All Recovery meetings from 2014–2025 using document analysis and practitioner accounts. The model spread through accessible facilitation templates, personnel mobility across institutions, and infrastructure from national organizations like the SAFE Project and Collegiate Recovery Leadership Academy. Implementation emphasizes structured inclusivity, peer leadership, trauma-informed facilitation, and integration with clinical supports. We discuss how institutional support amplified grassroots field evolution toward pluralism, and identify critical research, practice, and policy priorities to optimize implementation and build an evidence base for this emerging approach.
