Self Management and Recovery Training (SMART)

SMART Recovery is an evidenced-informed recovery method grounded in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), that supports people with substance dependencies or problem behaviors to:

1.Build and maintain motivation
2.Cope with urges and cravings
3.Manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors
4.Live a balanced life

SMART meetings encourage individuals to take responsibility for their own choices and behaviors and do not ask anyone to admit powerlessness nor rely on a higher power. Crosstalk and open conversation are encouraged, as we learn and grow from the support of our recovery community.

A Woman's Way Through the 12-Steps Recovery Meeting
2024-03-20 14:00 - 15:00 | MI
A Woman’s Way Through the 12-Steps

Recovery can seem like a man’s world. Even the language of the Twelve Steps often doesn’t align with your unique experiences as a woman or a non-binary person. As a result, the psychological development of women facing addiction and recovery is frequently overlooked along with the social and cultural factors.

These omissions from the Twelve Steps have left many women and non-binary persons struggling to remain in a recovery program that doesn’t meet their specific needs, align with their values or understand their experiences.
The Woman’s Way Through the 12-Steps helps you take ownership over your recovery with courage and strength.

Yoga for Recovery

Modeled from the meetings of 12-step programs, the Y12SR is a group-sharing circle followed by a intentional, themed gentle & restorative yoga class.
