SMART Recov­ery Groups

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, 
• Liv­ing a Bal­anced Life.

While the prin­ci­ples of SMART Recov­ery are the same, Ken­neth Young Cen­ter has var­i­ous types of groups as there are col­lec­tive and shared expe­ri­ences spe­cif­ic to these groups that play a role in the group dynamics. 

SMART Recov­ery is avail­able at no cost to you. 

Ken­neth Young Cen­ter SMART meet­ings are avail­able on Zoom.
