About this service

SMART Recovery is a charity providing a science-based self-help program for people seeking to recover from addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, nicotine and other addictive behaviours. The program provides practical tools and techniques across four key areas: building and maintaining motivation, coping with urges, managing thoughts and feelings, and living a balanced life. Meetings are available online and in-person across the UK, and the program is supported by evidence and research.
