SMART Recovery Family & Friends Meetings

SMART Recovery Family & Friends Meetings

 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.
