SMART Recovery
SMART Recovery
Friends & Family 6pm Wednesdays
SMART Recovery is a science-based, self-help program that supports people in overcoming addictive behaviors, including substance use and behavioral addictions. It stands for Self-Management And Recovery Training and emphasizes empowerment through evidence-based tools and peer support.
The program is built around a 4-Point Program:
-
building motivation
-
coping with urges
-
managing thoughts and behaviors
-
and living a balanced life
SMART encourages self-reliance and does not use labels like "addict" or "alcoholic," focusing instead on self-directed change. Meetings are collaborative, confidential, and structured around learning and applying practical strategies for recovery.
