What is GFR?

Gauchos for Recovery is a UCSB program that aims to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for students in recovery from addiction to substances and addictive behaviors. Additionally, we support students who have been directly or indirectly affected by the substance use of friends or loved ones.

The GFR program is centered around 5 main elements:
A community of supportive peers
Recovery-oriented meetings and events
Opportunities for leadership and service
A Recovery-friendly space
Professional Counseling and Support
