Take control of your future! Get online or in-person support for any addiction or problem behavior with SMART Recovery.

On Our Own hosts three SMART groups every week: Tuesday from noon-1 on zoom, Tuesday from 5:30-6:30 in person, and Thursday from 6-7 on zoom. Get zoom links at onourowncville.org!

SMART Recovery Meetings are non-judgmental spaces where you can connect with others for mutual support.

SMART stands for Self Management and Recovery Training. SMART is label-free, self-empowering, science-informed, progress oriented, and non-exclusive. It embraces harm reduction principles and MAT (medication assisted treatment).

It’s a transformative way of moving from addictive behaviors to a life of positive self-regard and willingness to change. Get more information at smartrecovery.org.

SMART can help with:

* ALCOHOL
* DRUGS
* S*X
* FOOD
* GAMBLING
* AND ANY OTHER COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR YOU STRUGGLE WITH
