Far too many people believe they have no control over their lives and are filled with a sense of hopelessness, as well as a fear of becoming imprisoned in an addiction cycle and trapped in their surroundings. SMART teaches people the skills they need to break free from their addictions and change their lives.
SMART was developed for those who want to take control of their lives and overcome their addictions. What has developed is an approach to rehabilitation that is both scientifically sound and backed up by more than a quarter-century of experience teaching practical techniques that promote long-term transformation.
SMART is a dynamic recovery network made up of dedicated volunteers who have recovered via SMART and want to help others. Peers and experts collaborate to help individuals live healthy and balanced lives by fusing research and experience.
Participants construct and apply their own recovery plan in our online and in-person mutual support groups in order to live a more balanced, purposeful, rewarding, and meaningful life. SMART offers specific meetings and services for a range of groups, including families and friends, veterans, and others.
Through the usage of our 4-Point Program, SMART participants are empowered:
SMART Recovery is effective. SMART provides a road to Life Beyond Addiction, whether an individual has chosen recovery as their path or has been forced to enter a recovery program.
