Does SMART Recovery help with any addictive behaviour?

SMART Recovery is an evidence-based recovery method grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), that supports people with substance dependencies or problem behaviours to lead a balanced life. SMART Recovery provides support for any addictive behaviour including drugs, alcohol, gambling, food, etc. Our meetings focus on the BEHAVIOURS, and not the substance – meaning they are suitable for any problematic or addictive behaviour.

Some meetings are tailored to different groups of people or problem behaviours, although many meetings are open to everyone. To find a meeting to suit you, visit our meetings listing page. Each meeting has a 'details' section where any specific requirements to attend will be listed, for example, women-only, or a focus on gambling. If there are no specific requirements, anyone is welcome to attend.
