About SMART Recovery©
The Power of Choice
SMART Recovery©advocates 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 participants to achieve a healthy, positive, balanced lifestyle.
The SMART Recovery© 4-Point Program
Involves:
- Building and maintaining motivation
- Coping with urges
- Managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
- Living a balanced life
What is The Process?
The Beacon Foundation utilizes the tools and techniques of the SMART Recovery© program to support meeting participation, training and education services.
1. SMART Recovery©
SMART Recovery©is a science-based addiction support group where people learn self-empowering skills and support each other in recovery. It is an alternative to Alcoholics Anonymous (“AA”) and other similar 12-step programs. The approach is secular and science-based, using cognitive behavioral therapy and non-confrontational motivational methods.
2. Self-Management And Recovery Training (SMART)
Self-Management And Recovery Training (SMART©) is a global community of mutual support groups. At meetings, participants help one another resolve problems with any addiction (to drugs or alcohol or to activities such as gambling or over-eating). Participants find and develop the power within themselves to change and lead fulfilling and balanced lives guided by our science-based and sensible 4-Point Program®.
3. Friends & Family Program
The Friends and Family program adapts the same strategies and tools to provide a coping methodology for those nearest and dearest to ones with addictive behaviors.
4. Four Point Program
The SMART Recovery© 4-Point Program© involves:
• Building and maintaining motivation
• Coping with urges
• Managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
• Living a balanced life!
