An Alternative to AA
Local individuals and volunteers are working together to offer SMART Recovery®, a free, nationwide self-help program, to residents of the greater Dayton/Silver Springs/Stagecoach/Virginia City/Moundhouse areas.
SMART is an acronym for Self-Management and Recovery Training. Based upon researched and proven cognitive-behavioral methods, this program focuses on four key areas: motivation for change, resisting impulses to use alcohol/drugs, problem solving, and balanced lifestyle.
We are not a spiritual healing program. SMART Recovery® is very different from traditional, 12-step approaches. It is a program of personal empowerment grounded in the principles of individual dignity and self-determination. While a person’s religious and spiritual convictions can be helpful, these issues are a personal matter, and are not a part of SMART Recovery®. Instead of labeling people as having a “disease”, being “powerless” or “in denial”, or as being in need of lifelong meeting attendance, SMART Recovery® utilizes effective technologies for behavior change. Our methods primarily include, but are not limited to the techniques of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. We are a mental health and education program for defeating addictions and creating a healthy, positive lifestyle.
Our first meeting at our NEW LOCATION will be held at Makin Coffee, located at 655 Hwy 50 E., suite 4C, Dayton, NV promptly at 6:30 p.m. with meetings being held every Monday thereafter at the same location. No food or beverages can be brought in, however, you are more than welcome to purchase or coffee at Makin Coffee.
