In recent months, there has been a sometimes heated debate about the direction of SMART Recovery in the UK. The Trustees are considering an approach to partnership with the treatment sector that would work to help build the SMART Recovery movement but maintain the central importance of peer led meetings. The relevance to rehabs is that the proposed model would allow providers to help build a substantial after-care resource, for minimal input of time or money. A consultation document with outline proposals has now been published and is on http://www.smartrecovery.org.uk, along with a link to an online questionnaire. I am helping coordinate the consultation process on behalf of the board, feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss this. I am particularly interested in building up a list of providers who are 'in principle' interested in partnership - so we can consult in more detail later in the process.
