Correctional Facility Substance Abuse Programs

prison meeting For many years, SMART Recovery has worked with correctional institutions thoughout the United States to help provide SMART Recovery meetings for inmates as well as support meetings for those returning to communities.

Depending on circumstances, your facility may choose either to provide InsideOut to your clients, or you may choose to provide a “general” SMART Recovery meeting. Our FAST Distance Training Program helps prepare counselors, officers and drug court officials to facilitate general SMART Recovery meetings. Information about making the InsideOut program available to your clients is included below.

SMART Recovery materials work equally well with male and female populations, work to lower recidivism rates, and provide a non-religious based choice in recovery, which is crucial to ensuring First Amendment rights are observed.

InsideOut^®

A SMART Recovery® Substance Abuse Correctional Program

InsideOut is a cognitive-based (CBT) program for substance abuse treatment in correctional settings, and is based around the 4-Point Program of SMART Recovery. The primary goal is to prevent offender recidivism through a carefully designed and scientifically-based program.

Designed for drug courts, correctional institutions (jails, prisons), DUI diversion programs, and related aftercare programs, InsideOut can help your facility quickly deliver a secular, high-quality, engaging substance abuse treatment program.
