SMART Recov­ery (Find Meet­ings Near You) (Vis­it SMART Recov­ery Online)

SMART Recov­ery stands for Self-Man­age­ment and Recov­ery Train­ing, which is a peer-led, mutu­al sup­port group for peo­ple who strug­gle with sub­stances and addic­tive behav­iors. In SMART Recov­ery, we learn tools and tech­niques root­ed in Cog­ni­tive Behav­ioral Ther­a­py, Ratio­nal Emo­tive Behav­ioral Ther­a­py, Harm Reduc­tion, and Moti­va­tion­al Inter­view­ing to help empow­er indi­vid­u­als to man­age their own recov­ery jour­neys. We do this by focus­ing on 4 main points: Build­ing and Main­tain­ing Moti­va­tion, Cop­ing with Urges, Man­ag­ing Thoughts, Feel­ings, and Behav­iors, and Liv­ing a Bal­anced Life.
