Join a SMART Recovery meeting to get support for addictions to all types of problematic behaviours including drugs, alcohol, gambling, cigarettes, food and more. SMART Reovery Meetings are free and are guided by trained facilitators.
Our meetings follow a number of guiding principles to get the best out of the time for everyone:

SMART Recovery Family & Friends is a secular mutual support program for family and friends of individuals with addictive behaviors. The program is based on the tools of SMART Recovery and Community Reinforcement Approach & Family Training (CRAFT).
Studies have shown that CRAFT results in a significantly higher rate of treatment entry for Loved Ones than Al-Anon or Johnson Intervention. At our meetings, trained volunteer facilitators address specific issues encountered by family and friends of those with addictive behaviors.
Tools consistent with evidence-based motivational and cognitive behavioral theories are also offered and discussed.
Many SMART Recovery meetings are National and open to participants from anywhere. You can join a meeting online any day of the week!
