“…The studies were predominantly cross-sectional (eight of 12). The effectiveness of SMART Recovery was explored in one RCT (Hester, Lenberg, Campbell, & Delaney, 2013), one pre- and posttreatment (prepost) design (described across two publications; Brooks & Penn, 2003; Penn & Brooks, 2000), and one quasi-experimental pseudoprospective study (Blatch, O’Sullivan, Delaney, & Rathbone, 2016). Concurrent mental illness and substance use disorder was the focus of only one study (described across two articles; Brooks & Penn, 2003; Penn & Brooks, 2000).…”

“…The SMART Recovery intervention and comparison condition was often poorly described. Intervention content and delivery methods were clearly detailed for only SMART informed or adapted interventions (Blatch et al, 2016; Brooks & Penn, 2003; Hester et al, 2013; Penn & Brooks, 2000). For community-based SMART Recovery groups (and comparison conditions), assessment and/or reporting of SMART Recovery tools, strategies, content, delivery methods, facilitator experience, and training was scarce.…”

“…The severity of addiction and its consequences tended to be assessed in terms of quantity, frequency, and/or duration of use. Other indices (e.g., number of hospitalizations and recidivism) were assessed in three studies (Blatch et al, 2016; Brooks & Penn, 2003; Milin, 2007; Penn & Brooks, 2000), and quality of life in only one study (Brooks & Penn, 2003; Penn & Brooks, 2000). Despite high comorbidity between mental health conditions and substance misuse, standardized assessment of mental health status occurred in only three studies (Brooks & Penn, 2003; Hester et al, 2013; Penn & Brooks, 2000; P.…”

“…Extraction forms were piloted on several articles and modified as needed before use. When multiple reports of the same study were identified (Brooks & Penn, 2003; Penn & Brooks, 2000), data from each report was extracted separately and then combined across multiple data collection forms. Criteria for data extraction (detailed in the protocol; Beck et al, 2016) were adapted from the Downs and Black Scale (Downs & Black, 1998) and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Higgins & Green, 2011).…”

Clinical guidelines recommend Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART Recovery) and 12-step models of mutual aid as important sources of long-term support for addiction recovery. Methodologically rigorous reviews of the efficacy and potential mechanisms of change are available for the predominant 12-step approach. A similarly rigorous exploration of SMART Recovery has yet to be undertaken. We aim to address this gap by providing a systematic overview of the evidence for SMART Recovery in adults with problematic alcohol, substance, and/or behavioral addiction, including (i) a commentary on outcomes assessed, process variables, feasibility, current understanding of mental health outcomes, and (ii) a critical evaluation of the methodology. We searched six electronic peer-reviewed and four gray literature databases for English-language SMART Recovery literature. Articles were classified, assessed against standardized criteria, and checked by an independent assessor. Twelve studies (including three evaluations of effectiveness) were identified. Alcohol-related outcomes were the primary focus. Standardized assessment of nonalcohol substance use was infrequent. Information about behavioral addiction was restricted to limited prevalence data. Functional outcomes were rarely reported. Feasibility was largely indexed by attendance. Economic analysis has not been undertaken. Little is known about the variables that may influence treatment outcome, but attendance represents a potential candidate. Assessment and reporting of mental health status was poor. Although positive effects were found, the modest sample and diversity of methods prevent us from making conclusive remarks about efficacy. Further research is needed to understand the clinical and public health utility of SMART as a viable recovery support option. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…The results of the current study showed that increasing self-confidence and reclaiming the social position of the under-treatment person is one of the effective factors of treatment retention. Previous studies support this finding [36, 37]. Therefore, it can be said that being a member of associations and groups can prepare the ground for increasing of the self-confidence of the under-treatment persons and be effective in their treatment retention of substance use.…”

Background Elimination of psychological dependence to substance is more difficult than elimination of physical dependence, and needs to time, going through several stages, and internal care. The aim of this study was to exploring the factors related to treatment retention in Narcotics Anonymous members. Methods In a qualitative study and by individual interview, 12 recovered participants were interviewed. The participants were substance user, whom recovered for more than two years. The data were gathered by purposeful sampling and through recording and transcribing interviews. Data analysis were done by qualitative content analysis through three steps: conceptualization, interview and data analysis. Results After analyzing data, two main categories had emerged: “personal-psychological” and “social” factors. Personal-psychological" factors includes: self-knowledge, change of attitude, self-confidence, consistency in treatment, living in the moment and “social” factors include interaction with others, group of sympathizers, reformation of social and familial relationships, reclaiming the social position, supports received from others, and supports received from the generalized network. Conclusion Recovered individuals are in need to emotional supports and reclaiming their positions in the family and society play an important role in their treatment retention. Keeping the Substance users away from drugs is not the basic step of substance use treatment, but the necessary supports and special cares should be given to the Substance users after elimination of physical attachment, so that the psychological dependence can be eliminated as well.
