Referrals. Addiction recovery groups provide an endless stream of potential clients. It is the same principle that the addiction treatment industry uses, and like rehabs, professional offices often provide space for meetings. Needless to say, the professional advisers were not very happy about losing their alternative recovery group meetings, which is why they splintered off into SMART recovery.
