SMART Recovery

SMART Recovery advocates choice, so that those seeking recovery can choose what works best for them from a variety of options. The SMART Recovery goal is for you to achieve a healthy, positive and balanced lifestyle and to “graduate” when you feel your addictive behavior is behind you, not to remain a permanent participant in the program.

Meetings (hybrid) occur Wednesday from 1:30-2:30pm in LB 018 or Teams.

Through a partnership with RISE Recovery Community Outreach Center in Herkimer, NY, Herkimer College is able to provide students with a direct contact for additional support and resources regarding their recovery.

Health and Wellness Living Option

The Health and Wellness Living Area on campus promotes a healthy living lifestyle and provides a zero tolerance smoke free-environment, health and wellness programming, and specific quiet study hours. Health and Wellness Residents have the right to reside in an environment free of alcohol, cannabis, and substance use, a right to be free from disturbances from others under the influence, and a right to wellness and substance free inspired events specific to the Health and Wellness Living Area.  

Who can live in the Health and Wellness Living Area? Anyone! First year students; second year students; students from different geographic locations; students with different majors; club officers and members; musicians. They all come together to live here, maybe you should too!
