SMART Recovery uses tools based on scientifically tested methods for addictive behavior recovery, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
SMART Recovery advocates for choice, so that those seeking recovery can choose what works best for them from a toolbox of methods and strategies. The goal of SMART Recovery is for you to move on when you feel confident your addictive behavior is behind you, rather than remaining a permanent participant in the program.
Four Point Program
