About SMART Recovery

SMART Recovery is a self-help, mutual-aid program that offers the chance for people to work together to examine and change problem behaviours. Group participants are there to help themselves and each other.

Problem behaviours may relate to drinking, drug taking, gambling, food, shopping, internet, sex and other issues. SMART also helps participants manage associated problems, such as depression, anxiety, and anger.

SMART Recovery is a practical and solution-focused program. It uses evidence based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) tools and techniques to help people achieve their goals.

SMART encourages individuals to determine a recovery pathway that is right for their needs and beliefs. Some may choose to use the program in combination with other mutual-support groups, or in conjunction with professional treatment.

SMART recognises that there are many pathways to recovery.
