SMART Recovery
SMART Recovery at Recovery In Action: A Self-Help Resource for the Community
At Recovery In Action, we believe in providing a variety of tools and resources to support individuals on their journey to recovery. That’s why we are proud to host SMART Recovery meetings in our group room as a community service. SMART Recovery is a globally recognized, self-help program that empowers individuals to overcome addictive behaviors through science-based techniques and peer support.
While SMART Recovery meetings are held in our space, it is important to note that SMART Recovery is not a medical service and participation is not tied to enrollment in Recovery In Action’s treatment programs. These meetings are open to anyone seeking support, regardless of whether they are currently receiving treatment from us.
SMART Recovery meetings are facilitated by EJ, and anyone from the community is welcome to attend. The meetings provide a safe, stigma-free environment where individuals can learn practical tools for managing addictive behaviors and take steps toward achieving a balanced, fulfilling life.
What Is SMART Recovery?
SMART (Self-Management and Recovery Training) is a self-help program designed to provide participants with tools and strategies to manage addictive behaviors. The program focuses on self-empowerment and uses techniques rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). It’s a non-judgmental and flexible program that allows individuals to define their own recovery goals, whether that’s abstinence, moderation, or simply improving overall life satisfaction.
Why Host SMART Recovery Meetings?
At Recovery In Action, we believe in empowering individuals to take control of their own recovery journey. By providing space for SMART Recovery meetings, we aim to offer our community another resource for growth and healing. The meetings focus on long-term balance, helping individuals manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to achieve a healthier and more stable life.
Join Our SMART Recovery Meeting
We invite anyone in the community to attend our weekly SMART Recovery meeting, held every Wednesday at 5:30 PM in the Recovery In Action group room. This is a chance to explore new strategies for managing addictive behaviors in a supportive and stigma-free environment. You do not need to be a client of Recovery In Action to participate—just bring your commitment to personal growth.
