SMART stands for - Self Management And Recovery Training - a science-based program that helps people to manage their recovery from addictive any behaviour.
We provide a network of peer support mutual-aid groups across the country, and online.
Meetings are delivered by volunteers in recovery or by professional staff/volunteers from our partner organisations.
SMART Recovery helps participants decide whether they have a problem, builds up their motivation to change and offers a set of proven tools and techniques to support recovery.
This is the SMART Recovery 4-point programme:
#1. Building and maintaining motivation
#2. Coping with urges
#3 Managing thoughts, feelings and behaviours
#4 Living a balanced life
