Smart Recovery Program

The 4-Point SMART Recovery Program

The 4-Point SMART Recovery Program at Sunrise Recovery in Indiana is not a rigid, step-by-step process. Instead, it emphasizes four key strategies and routines designed to help individuals struggling with addiction.

Participants can practice these four exercises flexibly, selecting the points that best meet their current needs and circumstances.

This adaptive approach allows for personalized treatment plans that effectively support the maintenance of a healthy, sober life.

This Program Includes:

Building motivation and maintaining it

The first step towards Recovery can happen when the patients have the motivation to take a necessary step towards it. Thus, at this point, the patients are given motivation to remaining sober. They are encouraged to make a list of benefits and costs to maintain sobriety versus addiction.

Handling and managing the urges

The third point teaches the participants to examine deeper into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to understand the reason for addiction. This point also dwells into sensitive problems such as depression and anxiety which more often than not leads to addiction and vice-versa. The participants are taught about the subject matter on self-acceptance and managing uncomfortable situations.

Living a balanced life

The second point aids in understanding the reasons for craving and what are the elements that trigger the participants into addiction. They are given various methods that can help them to suppress the cravings. Again, these points are personalized as per the intensity and the conditions of the participants. Various distraction techniques are also suggested to aid them in remaining sober.

Management of thoughts and behaviors

After long term addiction to a substance, it is difficult for patients to remain sober throughout. Chances of relapse may occur in the extreme situation in their lives and it becomes like a coping mechanism. At this point, participants are made aware of what is important to them and thus take necessary steps to help them maintain a sober life by balancing all the aspects of their lives.

Tools Used in SMART Recovery

These tools include:

Stages of Change
Change Plan Worksheet
Brainstorming
Role-playing and Rehearsing

The SMART Recovery Program uses various techniques to help the candidates free from the clutch of addictive behaviors. They are encouraged to use the tools to recover from addiction.

Thus, the SMART Recovery is an integrated program that aids the participants under the influence of substance abuse or who are under addictive behavior to maintain a balanced life by teaching them methods to cope with cravings, understand their feelings and thoughts and also by incorporating motivational techniques to live a life of sobriety.
