Our participants learn tools for addiction recovery based on the latest scientific research and participate in a world-wide community which includes free, self-empowering, science-based mutual help groups.<\/p>\n<p>The SMART Recovery\u00a04-Point Program<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> helps people recover from all types of addiction and addictive behaviors, including: drug abuse, drug addiction, substance abuse, alcohol abuse, gambling addiction, cocaine addiction, prescription drug abuse, sexual addiction, and problem addiction to other substances and activities. SMART Recovery sponsors face-to-face meetings around the world, and daily online meetings. In addition, our online message board and 24\/7 chat room are excellent forums to learn about SMART Recovery and obtain addiction recovery support. If you&#8217;re new to SMART Recovery, get started with our introduction here.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;SMART Recovery 4-point program:&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%233a3a3a&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_progress_bar values=&#8221;%5B%7B%22label%22%3A%22Building%20%26%20Maintaining%20Motivation%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22100%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Coping%20with%20urges%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22100%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Managing%20thoughts%2C%20feelings%20and%20behaviours%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22100%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Living%20a%20balanced%20life%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22100%22%7D%5D&#8221; caption_pos=&#8221;top&#8221;][vc_message]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"site-description\">&#8220;Discover the Power of Choice!&#8221;.<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Services&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%233a3a3a&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_accordion][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;WE RUN MEETINGS&#8221;][vc_column_text]Our core activity is running a network of self-help \/ mutual aid meetings where, through open and confidential discussion, participants help each other and themselves with recovery from any kind of addictive behaviour.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;WE ARE A RECOVERY COMMUNITY&#8221;][vc_column_text]SMART Recovery is inspired by the traditions and history of mutual aid, both in addictions and other walks of life. We believe that being part of a community of recovery makes it more likely that we will succeed and become stronger in our own recovery journeys. It is what our experience tells us, but it is also what science is saying as well \u2013 spend more time with people who are succeeding at what you want to do and you are more likely to succeed yourself![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;WE RUN AN ONLINE COMMUNITY&#8221;][vc_column_text]Our community of recovery also works online. Our website includes a \u2018social networking\u2019 system to help SMART participants build up their contacts with others using SMART Recovery in their local area and across the country. For some, this will be about sharing ideas, videos and articles that have helped them, for others it will be about organizing local events or giving feedback to help improve how SMART Recovery works.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;WE PROVIDE TRAINING&#8221;][vc_column_text]The main focus of training is to help meeting participants become meeting Facilitators and interested professionals become SMART Recovery Champions. We run an innovative, 20 hour online learning platform which includes videos, quizzes, written exercises and reading materials. The first half of the training, \u2018Getting SMART\u2019, is also very useful for meeting participants who want to deepen their understanding of the tools and how SMART Recovery works.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;WE FOLLOW THE SCIENCE&#8221;][vc_column_text]SMART Recovery is science-based. This means that we constantly track how the scientific evidence is developing about addictions and what really works to help people change their addictive behaviours. Our programme therefore evolves as the science evolves. The way this works in practice is through an ongoing dialogue between Facilitators and a number of psychologists and researchers \u2013 we look for tools and approaches that have an evidence base but are also appropriate within the self-help \/ mutual aid approach of SMART Recovery[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP&#8221;][vc_column_text]The core of SMART Recovery is the meeting led by a trained peer Facilitator in the community, but this is not the only way of introducing people to SMART. This involves us training some of their staff to kick start meetings within their services, build links to the peer-led meetings in the community and encourage service users to train as peer Facilitators themselves. The Partnership does not reduce our commitment to peer led meetings, indeed the approach is helping us grow the peer led meetings very quickly..[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>SMART Recovery (Self Management And Recovery Training) is NOT a 12 Step Group like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).<\/h2>\n<p>SMART Recovery\u00ae is based on evidence influenced, cognitive \u2013 behavioural methods, particularly Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT). SMART Recovery believes a persons religious or spiritual convictions are a personal matter that can be helpful for some, but are not discussed at SMART Recovery meetings (for inclusivity). SMART Recovery\u00a0teaches people practical, proven self-management and recovery skills.<\/p>\n<h2>SMART Recovery 4-Point Program<\/h2>\n<p>SMART Recovery (Self Management And Recovery Training) helps individuals gain independence from addiction (substances or activities). Our efforts are based on scientific knowledge and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves.<\/p>\n<p>The 4-Point Program offers specific tools and techniques for each of the program points:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Point 1<\/strong>: Building and Maintaining Motivation<br \/>\n<strong>Point 2<\/strong>: Coping with Urges<br \/>\n<strong>Point 3<\/strong>: Managing Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviours<br \/>\n<strong>Point 4<\/strong>: Living a Balanced Life<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Our Purpose<\/h2>\n<p>To support individuals who have chosen to abstain, or are considering abstinence from any type of addictive behaviours (substances or activities), by teaching how to change self-defeating thinking, emotions, and actions; and to work towards long-term satisfactions and quality of life.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Approach<\/h2>\n<p>* Teaches self-empowerment and self-reliance.<br \/>\n* Encourages individuals to recover and live satisfying lives.<br \/>\n* Teaches tools and techniques for self-directed change.<br \/>\n* Meetings are educational and include open discussions.<br \/>\n* Advocates the appropriate use of prescribed medications and psychological treatments.<br \/>\n* Evolves as scientific knowledge of addiction recovery evolves.<\/p>\n<h2>SMART Recovery Tools &amp; Techniques<\/h2>\n<p>The SMART Recovery 4-Point Program employs a variety of tools and techniques to help individuals gain independence from addiction and addictive behaviours.
