What are the 4 steps in SMART Recovery?

SMART Recovery employs a science-based approach to addiction recovery, offering four key steps:

Enhance and Maintain Motivation to Change: Individuals define personal reasons for change, anchoring their goals in genuine self-interest.

Cope with Urges: By identifying triggers and employing strategies like mindfulness or relaxation techniques, participants effectively manage cravings.

Manage Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors: Cognitive tools help replace harmful self-talk with balanced perspectives, thereby reducing impulsive actions.

Live a Balanced Life: Participants learn to establish healthy routines, fulfilling relationships, and meaningful activities that reinforce overall well-being.

This self-empowering program encourages personal accountability and self-directed growth, suitable for individuals seeking an evidence-based alternative to traditional methods.

Pineview Recovery's residential program emphasizes the SMART Recovery 4-Step process, which empowers individuals in their recovery journey. This program is complemented by Christian Counseling, Peer Support, Mentorship, and the foundational Christ-centered 12-step program, Recovery Alive!.
