SMART Recovery Society of Alberta

Community well-being

SMART is a free self-help program for recovery from addictive behavior. It is not a twelve-step program. It is based on modern cognitive/behavioral methods, particularly Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT).

Our purpose is to support individuals who have chosen to abstain, or are considering abstinence from any type of addictive behavior,  (substances or activities), by teaching how to change self-defeating thinking emotions, and actions; and to work towards long-term satisfactions and quality of life.
