Joe Gerstein writes: “After a successful pilot in sober homes and reentry programs in Oregon, Montana, and Kentucky, in conjunction with the Fletcher Group (Ernie Fletcher, a former Governor of Kentucky), I was able to obtain a grant from the Health Resources & Services Administration to introduce the SMART Recovery (Self-Management Addiction Recovery Training) ‘Successful Life Skills with InsideOut Tools’ correctional program (funded by NIDA) into 100 rural county sober homes and reentry programs throughout the United States. The SMART Recovery Program is evidence-based, abstinence-oriented, and self-empowering. Its free, mutual-aid meetings, which are run by trained facilitators, are available in 23 countries: smartrecovery.org.”
