The strategic review of SMART Recovery UK proposed a closer partnership with care providers, and also with Commissioners.

If you work in local planning or commissioning, such as Drug Action Teams / Area Drug Partnerships or regional NTA, there is a great deal you could gain from working closely with SMART Recovery UK.

Please see our: Guidance for Commissioners. (pdf reader required).

• Helps you align with current commissioning priorities, such as increased emphasis on abstinence

• Offers an approach to recovery that is also relevant for clients on substitute prescribing

• Improves treatment outcomes through engagement with SMART Recovery mutual aid.

• Extends the after-care capacity of your treatment system

• Delivers a complimentary alternative to the 12 step fellowships

• Works within increasingly strained budgets
