SMART Recovery

SMART Recovery group addresses problems related to any kind of addiction. SMART uses a four-point program: building and maintaining motivation, coping with urges, managing thoughts and feelings, and living a balanced lifestyle. Meetings follow a structure including an opening statement, brief check in time for each participant, agenda setting based on issues brought up at check-in, group discussion, check-out, and passing the hat for donations. Meetings are free, but SMART encourages donations such as the cost of a drink, in order to support the all-volunteer facilitators and meeting locations.
