SMART Recovery® (Self Management And Recovery Training) helps individuals gain independence from addictive substances and activities.
Change myself, change the world
Welcome to our community! Our discussions are based on scientific knowledge, and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves. SMART is helpful for some participants primarily because they become involved with a new community of helpful and friendly people. For others SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior. Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to. We look forward to your participation.
We offer tools and information for each of these points:
Point 1
Building and Maintaining Motivation
Point 2
Coping with Urges
Point 3
Managing Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors
Point 4
Living a Balanced Life
