A non-profit, volunteer, peer support group. The SMART tools are backed by psychological principles including Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and positive psychology. Unlike some other recovery programs, SMART Recovery doesn't require a sponsor or a higher power and doesn't require the members to be in a lifelong program. The main focus of SMART meetings is how to abstain from harmful addictions or activities. This includes alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, or virtually any behavior people want to stop. SMART Recovery supports individuals who have chosen to abstain from any substance or activity or are considering abstinence. Abstinence is not required to attend this meeting but is the ultimate goal of the program. If you are intoxicated, you are welcome to listen, but not to share. Individuals can use whatever methods help them to stay sober. This includes harm reduction, medications or other methods. SMART supports the use of counseling or recovery coaching to supplement our recovery program, or use other methods to help us stay sober. Some of these include monitoring through breathalyzers, online tools, reading or attending other groups. Two topics that are not pushed are spirituality/religion, and addiction as a disease. These are personal topics but are not part of SMART Recovery. Meetings are available in face-to-face, online, or hybrid formats.
