In view of COVID-19 and complying with Government restrictions, our face to face SMART groups have been suspended until further notice. However we are pleased to offer ONLINE SMART GROUPS.
Self-management and recovery training (SMART) is a self-help group that can assist you to make the changes you want. SMART groups are facilitated by peers who have experience of both mental health and alcohol or other drug concerns.
SMART Recovery is based on four basic principles:
- building and maintaining motivation
- coping with urges and cravings
- self managing of thoughts, feelings and behaviours
- living a balanced lifestyle
SMART Recovery meetings:
- focus on the present and future
- focus on planning and setting goals for the next seven days
- are about learning to plan your recovery by making the changes you want

Family support groups offer the opportunity to talk about what is happening for you with other people in a similar situation. Groups are run by peers (people who have experienced the alcohol and other drug use of someone close to them).
We regret to advise that due to the COVID-19 situation, we are currently unable to offer Family support groups. Please contact us to see what options for support may be available to you.
For all matters regarding residential rehabilitation, please contact our Perth, Mandurah or Bunbury office.
