Granite Recovery Centers offers SMART Recovery as a practical, science-based approach to help you create change. If you’re looking for a non-12-step alternative grounded in self-empowerment, SMART Recovery may be the right fit.
SMART stands for Self-Management and Recovery Training. It is a science-based program that helps people understand and change unhelpful habits. The focus is on practical skills that support personal growth, confidence, and balance. Based on cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, SMART Recovery teaches tools you can use every day to manage thoughts, feelings, and actions.
