GROUP THERAPY
Group Therapy For Addiction
Group therapy is where a group of people with similar issues share their personal experiences, thoughts, and ideas with others. Feelings of loneliness and isolation are symptoms that can lead to depression, and it is common for people in the process of recovery to experience these feelings as they come face to face with their actions while under the influence of addictive substances. Despite initial hesitancy in sharing personal thoughts with strangers, people find group therapy for addiction recovery to be a beneficial experience that offers a sense of relief and relaxation. Group therapy is a powerful resource to overcome negative feelings or perceptions about how we see ourselves and provides peer support that helps strengthen the resolve to remain clean and sober.
Group therapy is a tried and true method where methodical, well-managed therapy is key to the recovery of patients who struggle with substance abuse.
Group Therapy Sessions
Group therapy uses our natural instinct to gather in a social environment. This practice helps people open up about their struggles and hear those of others. These open, non-judgmental conversations often lead to a person’s own self-discovery. It also allows patients to view different coping mechanisms and ways in which others have dealt with and overcome their situations to achieve their goals.

YOU ARE
NOT ALONE
The journey to recovery is different for everyone, and it is not uncommon for it to last a long time, or even a lifetime. Knowing there is a community that shares your thoughts and ideas, and a network of friendly support by people, many who are experiencing life similarly, makes you feel connected.
IMPROVE
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Group therapy helps people sharpen their listening skills, and the way they articulate their thoughts. Poor communication skills often inhibit decision making just because sometimes people are not understanding what others are saying, or because they are not making themselves understood. Speaking amongst a group of individuals, in a form that is non-threatening and non-judgmental, helps a person improve their way of communicating with others, and similarly, of learning to understand what others are trying to communicate. This is a fundamental skill practiced in group therapy, which helps individuals in all aspects of their life.
VALUABLE
FEEDBACK
Most people have a distorted personal image. They may judge themselves to be compassionate, or see themselves as victims, heroes, sacrificial, or a host of other personality adjectives, and group therapy is a special way to understand yourself better, and get a better perspective of how others see you. If group therapy members think for example, that you demonstrate irrational behavior, you will most likely take the feedback more seriously.
