SMART RecoveryRTM (SMART) is a growing addiction recovery support group, based upon the evidence-based practices of cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. It has shown both the ability to be easily integrated into professional addiction treatment and positive outcomes in recent empirical studies. However, the research body is lacking empirical data on the nature of addiction professionals' relationship with this promising program, especially their referral practices. The current study sampled (N = 233) members of the Association of Addiction Professionals, (NAADAC) as a broad representation of the professional addiction treatment field, and was informed by the theories of reasoned action and planned behavior. The hypothesis was that the predictor variables, including: (a) years in the addiction treatment field, (b) total months attended Twelve Step groups (12SGs), (c) 12SG meetings attended in the last three months, (d) number of Twelve Steps incorporated into daily life, (e) proportion of clients referred to SHGs, (f) Twelve-Step Referral Practices Scale score, and (g) Helpfulness of Twelve-Step Scale score, would be able to discriminate between whether or not the sample referred clients to SMART, in any of its formats (i.e., in-person or online). None of the predictor variables were found to be significantly predictive of referral to SMART. However, nine other variables were found to be significantly correlated with referral to SMART, which helps to illustrate the characteristics of addiction professionals who refer to SMART. It was also found that each subgroup based on attendance status at self-help groups --- never attended, used to attend, and currently attending --- had a unique set of variables that was correlated with referral to SMART. The used to attend group had no similarly correlated variables with any of the other subgroups or the overall sample, indicating that this previously unidentified subgroup may have unique characteristics that deserve further investigation. Over half (n = 124; 54.1%) of the overall sample belonged to the group that did refer clients to SMART. Without comparative data on referral practices to SMART, this statistic can serve as a benchmark for further studies analyzing this topic.
