What is SMART Recovery?
SMART Recovery (Self-Management and Recovery Training) is a global community offering science-based support for people recovering from addiction. Unlike 12-step programs, SMART Recovery does not use spiritual language or require surrender to a higher power.
At Faith Recovery Center, SMART Recovery principles and tools are integrated alongside clinical therapy — giving clients a practical, evidence-based peer support framework for after discharge.
One-size-fits-all peer support
- Only 12-step models offered without alternatives
- Spiritual framework required for peer support
- Limited science-based coping tools in groups
- No structured self-empowerment curriculum
SMART Recovery at Faith Recovery
- 4-Point Program integrated into treatment
