Self-Empowering Language
I drink too much (vs. alcoholic) The costs exceed the benefits
(vs. disease) I choose to change (vs. I have
to) I can cope during the
transition (vs. recovery for life) My challenge (vs. my
addiction)

The Serenity Prayer God, grant me Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And Wisdom to know the difference.Adapted from Reinhold Niebuhr, 1943

The Courage Intention I intend to have courage
to change the things I can, serenity to accept the
things I cannot, and wisdom to know the
difference.

Locus of Control, Attribution
Locus of control: What predicts the future? Is it about me, or the situation?
Attribution theory: What explains the past?Is it about me, or the situation?

A Formula for Happiness
I explain my past situationally. My future is based on my own
efforts

It all worksBut for whom?There are as many paths to
recovery as there are individuals
SMART Recovery is one path

The Recovery Bill of Rights,
Faces and Voices of Recovery
Preamble: We must accord dignity to people with addiction and recognize that there is no one path to recovery
Point 2 (of 11): We have the right—as do our families and friends—to know about the many pathways to recovery

“We do not recommend ossifying practice into a list of ‘approved’ evidence-based treatments…while interventions with a strong evidence base are a good starting point, a creative service system will also encourage innovation to accomplish specified goals and to monitor outcomes” (p. 311)

What We Monitor Closely:
SMART Recovery is not the only way AA, moderation, meds are also ways Disease/God, not part of our
approach Natural recovery is the foundation Meetings: balance tools and open
discussion The best teachers are peers Stay on topic (recovery, related
issues) The conduct of our meeting leaders

Group Cohesion, Homework
Average of 9 months participation Group cohesion: use of cognitive
restructuring Homework: behavioral activation Both predicted use of CBT First study to examine quality of
facilitation

Results: Survival analysis - time to first violent
reconviction Getting SMART + SMART Recovery:
best survival curvetho not significant (confidenceinterval of .527 to 1.064)
Getting SMART (green) significantly longer time (approx. 13%) to first violent reconviction cf. controls
Hazard ratio of .867(p= <.05)
SMART Recovery: similar curve but not significant
Control group (blue): fastest time to first reconviction cf. thethree treatment groups

Evaluations of other AOD programs. Benchmarks?Best results from two USA meta analyses :
Washington State Institute of Public Policy* - nine AOD programs - 6% reduction in reoffending
Lipsely, Landenberger & Wilson** - 52 programs, 25 % reduction, 19% in violent crime!
Australian studies: few with similar methodology to enable a
comparison many studies flawed… poor methodology, low
power (small samples), no matched controls, poor program integrity
wanted our methodology to be immune to criticisms of bias & results definitive…..
* Aos, Miller & Drake, 2006 ** 2007

Sessions needed for a therapeutic effect – significantly longer time to
1st reconviction…10-11 sessions of either
SMART program was needed for a significant therapeutic effect-. 23% improvement in survival to firstreconviction hazard ratio of .764, p=<.05
= > 12 sessions: similar curve to 10-11 sessions but not significant (confidence interval = .634 to 1.002)
1-6 sessions (olive): same as control group (red) - no effect
Why? First six sessions of Getting Smart only focus on motivation to change?

Continuing Education Objectives
To describe the differences between a self-empowering and powerlessness-based (12-step) approach to addiction recovery
To recall the SMART Recovery slogan: “Discover the power of choice”
To identify one opportunity for further research on SMART Recovery
![Page 78: A Non 12 Step Approach to Addiction and Recovery](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051403/58a366d61a28aba4138b567d/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Conclusions Programmatic research on SMART
just beginning SMART much needed, especially in
US SMART, the best disseminator of
EBT? SMART could transform the
treatment industry, to become like Europe
