What is SMART Recovery?

SMART Recovery is a science-based program. SMART stands for Self-Management And Recovery Training. The program is designed to teach skills to help someone stop their addiction. SMART views addiction as a behavior to be changed.

At meetings, participants help each other change problems with addictive behaviors. This can be drugs or alcohol. It could be a behavior like overeating or gambling. SMART Recovery avoids labeling people using the terms addict or alcoholic.

Founded in the mid-1990s, SMART Recovery has grown to over 3000 meetings worldwide. People can attend meetings in person and online. Every meeting is free. There are also online message boards that are always available.

SMART recovery uses a four-point system:

  1. Building and maintaining motivation
  2. Coping with urges
  3. Managing thoughts, feelings, and behavior
  4. Living a balanced life

There are many tools that go along with the four points. Everyone has different needs. There is not a one size fits all solution to addictions. Each person can decide which tools will help them best. Participants can also buy books on the website to go along with the tools.
