FAQs About Group Therapy for Addiction Treatment
Who is group therapy for?
Group therapy is for anyone in recovery from alcohol addiction or drug addiction who wants support, structure, and a sense of connection. It works well for people who feel isolated, struggle with communication, or benefit from learning through shared experiences.
How is group therapy structured?
Sessions are designed to create a safe space where clients can grow, connect, and work through challenges together.
Key features include:
- Small, Supportive Groups: Sessions are kept small so everyone has a chance to participate and feel heard.
- Experienced Facilitators: Licensed therapists guide each session to keep discussions focused, respectful, and healing.
- Focused Topics: Groups explore themes like anxiety, triggers, values, and communication skills.
- Interactive Format: Activities, discussions, and exercises make sessions engaging and help support real growth.
Will I have to talk during group therapy?
You’re encouraged to share, but no one is forced to speak before they’re ready. Many people start by listening and gradually open up as they feel more comfortable.
Is group therapy confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is a key part of creating a safe environment. Group members agree to keep what’s shared in the group private, and facilitators reinforce this expectation regularly.
