SMART Recovery Iowa — Multiple Locations, IA
About This Group
SMART Recovery Iowa offers science-based addiction recovery support groups across the state. Using cognitive-behavioral techniques and motivational strategies, SMART Recovery provides a secular, self-empowering approach to overcoming addictive behaviors including substance use, gambling, and other compulsive behaviors.
What to Expect
SMART Recovery meetings are facilitated by trained volunteers and focus on the 4-Point Program: building and maintaining motivation, coping with urges, managing thoughts and behaviors, and living a balanced life. Meetings incorporate practical tools from rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Unlike traditional 12-step programs, SMART Recovery does not require labels, believes in the power of self-empowerment, and uses evidence-based techniques. Cross-talk and active discussion are encouraged.
