VCU Research to Recovery 2026: Advancing Recovery through Community Connection

This May, the Indivior team joined the addiction recovery community in Richmond, Virginia for Virginia Commonwealth University's (VCU) Research to Recovery 2026 conference from May 20-21. The conference was organized by Rams in Recovery, a Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP) at VCU that provides support for students in recovery from substance use disorders who are seeking a degree in higher education.

Bridging science, lived experience, and frontline practice, Research to Recovery brought together the people who make recovery happen every day: peer recovery specialists, community clinicians, family advocates, harm reductionists, and individuals in long-term recovery.

Meeting Recovery Where It Happens

Conversations at the Indivior booth with practitioners who work directly with individuals and families affected by substance use disorders centered on thoughtful questions about long-acting injectable (LAI) buprenorphine formulations (or extended-release buprenorphine) and their role in opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment. There was particular interest in safety profiles across different life stages - critical information for those serving disparate populations.
