As a registered charity, SMART has been delivering substance misuse services for over 10 years.
SMART's key aim is to encourage and assist people with substance misuse issues, and identify appropriate programmes to address their situation.
SMART's approach includes making direct contact with individuals, gaining their trust, and building motivation to make positive choices.
A key feature of SMART, is the value that we place on a user involvement, within the organisation. We endeavour to provide a service that directly reflects the needs of our clients.
Each year, we continue to provide services that tackle substance misuse, including more recently the serious issue of alcohol abuse, and its impact on communities. We now deliver a diverse range of services across the whole of the Thames Valley region.
