What is SMART Recovery Friends & Family?

SMART Recovery Family & Friends helps those who are affected by the substance abuse, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, or other addictions of a loved one.

SMART Recovery Family & Friends is a science-based, secular alternative to Al-Anon and Johnson Inttervention. Our method is based on the tools of SMART Recovery and CRAFT (Community Reinforcement Approach & Family Training) developed by Dr.Robert Meyers.

Family & Friends Online Support Meetings

SMART Recovery Online Volunteer Faciliators provide Concerned Significant Others (CSO) meetings to address specific issues encountered when a friend or family member tries to reach out and help a loved one affected by addition.

The meetings share SMART Recovery tools that can be implemented by CSOs to help with emotional upsets, effective communication methods when dealing with loved ones, and more. Techniques employed with the CRAFT Program (Community Reinforcement Approach and Family Training) are shared for the benefit of meeting and attendees. To participate in our Family & Friends online support meetings, registration is required for the SMART Recovery online community: www.smartrecovery.org/community
