  3. What is SMART Recovery? • Abstinence oriented recovery organisation, based on peer led mutual aid • Uses tools from REBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Stages of Change • Secular, science based mutual aid option • Evolved from partnership between people in recovery and addictions psychologists

  4. What is SMART Recovery? SMART Recoveryis a skills-based, self-help programme for individuals struggling with dependencies of all kinds. An alternative to 12-step models such as Alcoholics Anonymous, SMART Recovery uses well-established techniques from modern psychology to equip people with practical skills and tools to overcome their addiction.

  7. SMART Recovery for Family & Friends The SMART Recovery goal for Family & Friends is for you to achieve a healthy, positive and balanced lifestyle while supporting your Loved One (LO) in a meaningful and truly helpful way. Our approach: • Teaches self-empowerment and self-reliance. • Encourages individuals to change unhelpful habits and live satisfying lives. • Teaches tools and techniques for self-directed change.
