Millions of Americans have a substance use disorder, and only a fraction of them seek treatment. If you are struggling with addiction, you are not alone, and help is within reach.

In early 2022, CCA launched a SMART Recovery Group. This addiction recovery group is available to all CCA members in person at a CCA Primary Care clinic or virtually. You do not need to be a CCA Primary Care patient to participate.

SMART Recovery is a different approach to addiction recovery, which uses proven practical tools for lasting behavioral change. The CCA support group is for members seeking a self-empowering way to overcome addiction and addictive behaviors. It is also open to their direct caregivers.

SMART stands for Self-Management and Recovery Training. Participants design and implement their own recovery plan. The program is meeting-based and uses a variety of tools to help participants manage and overcome their addictions.

CCA members can click here to sign up for the SMART Recovery Group or call Member Services.

Sessions are offered:

Tuesdays: In person at CCA Primary Care Boston from 11 am to 12:30 pm
Thursdays: Virtually on ZOOM from 11 am to 12:30 pm

Substance use disorder affects everyone. We can all do our part to end the epidemic. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use disorder or addiction, there are additional resources available to help you. Speak to your CCA care partner to learn more SMART and other substance use care available for CCA members.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline is a free, confidential phone line that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days per year. If you need immediate assistance at any time, the SAMHSA National Helpline can be reached at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
