Even though 12-step programs are the most common type of Recovery program, a substantial portion of people in recovery are very uncomfortable with the 12-step concept of a “Higher Power” or to be blunt about it, GOD. Sadly, this may keep them from moving forward in their Recovery Journey. This is where SMART Recovery can help. At its core, SMART is a set of “Thinking Tools” or exercises that people can use to manage their patterns of behavior. SMART is a science-based program which uses principles from the fields of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). Online + Google calendar
