Online Recovery Resources

Many recovery support groups have recently adopted a virtual format. These sources offer access to round-the-clock support, online meetings, the chance to ask questions and discuss specific issues, and the opportunity for self-expression in a format that will reach others in the recovery community.

If you have questions about virtual support and would like to get connected to other students in recovery, please reach out to Jacob Goldberg, Recovery Community Manager, at jgoldberg6@tulane.edu, or by calling or texting 225-202-6342.

Please refer to Alcoholics Anonymous New Orleans for a current list of local virtual and in-person meetings.
