- Guidance for Prisons How promoting SMART Recovery can help improve abstinent recovery and reduce re-offending
- Guidance for Probation How promoting SMART Recovery can improve abstinent outcomes for DRR and ATR’s and reduce re-offending
A SMART recovery guidance document is available anyone who wishes to support the establishment of SMART Recovery meetings in their area.
A report Offender Health: Alcohol Services Review - Summary has been produced by the Centre for Public Health, Liverpool John Moores University (JMU). It reports that a range of alcohol focused interventions are available across offender settings, but significant geographical variation in provision and a lack of community-based offender-specific services in some areas.
Further Offender Health documents can be found here on the Alcohol Learning Centre.
