SMART MEETINGS (SELF MANAGEMENT AND RECOVERY TRAINING)

SMART MEETINGS (Self-Management and Recovery Training) is a structured program aimed at personal growth and development. It emphasizes personal responsibility and effective coping mechanisms to help individuals manage life’s challenges. Participants gain tools and strategies for self-directed learning, enabling them to set and achieve their own goals.

SMART MEETINGS, which stands for Self-Management And Recovery Training, represents a structured approach designed to empower individuals in managing their own recovery from addictive behaviors and enhancing their overall well-being.

This innovative program is particularly effective as it emphasizes personal responsibility and self-directed change, guiding participants through a comprehensive framework that promotes healthy decision-making and coping strategies.

In SMART MEETINGS, individuals engage in a variety of activities that encourage self-reflection and skill development. The meetings typically include discussions on setting achievable goals, identifying triggers that may lead to relapse, and employing practical techniques to deal with cravings. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences in a supportive environment where they can learn from one another’s challenges and successes. Moreover, the principles underpinning SMART MEETINGS focus on evidence-based practices derived from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing techniques.

This scientific foundation provides participants with reliable strategies for understanding the psychological aspects of addiction while fostering resilience in the face of adversity.
