StepUP Program at Augsburg University

The Augsburg University StepUP® Program strives to help students champion lives of recovery, achieve academic success, and thrive in a community of accountability and support.

We need your help to help make this program possible for students! We believe no student should have to choose between their recovery and a college education.

StepUP is:

• One of the oldest and largest residential collegiate recovery programs in the United States accompanied with sober living
• Unique for addressing both mental health and addiction recovery
• Built on evidence-based and proven techniques that emphasize recovery based on the stages of change and the abstinence model
• Where students in recovery fully engage in the Augsburg experience, including study abroad, varsity athletics, student government, and research
• Led by experienced, highly trained staff and licensed counselors
• A place to make friends and thrive in a sober social scene and a sober living college experience
