Studies show that addiction is directly connected to mental health and overall well-being. In fact, at least half of people living with addiction also live with co-occurring disorders like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. This connection makes therapy increasingly crucial to recovery and long-term sobriety.

What Is a Group Therapy Program for Addiction Recovery?
Group therapy is a type of addiction counseling that focuses on group and individual needs during a session. In both our residential and outpatient programs, clients gather daily or multiple times a week with an addiction therapist. While each session is different, the therapist guides conversation and exercises, helps clients improve communication, broadens individual understanding, and helps clients connect with each other for support and solidarity. Sessions often include a range of tools, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and meditative therapies to help improve emotional intelligence, understand addiction triggers, and create a safe space for recovery.
Benefits of Group Therapy Programs for Addiction Recovery
Unfortunately, managing addiction in the LGBTQ community can be isolating. That’s why group therapy is an essential tool for individual and community health. Today, group therapy is one of the leading approaches to recovery that helps almost every client thrive. Whether someone is comfortable talking about themselves in group settings or is learning to manage social anxiety, group therapy can provide the support they need. Benefits of group therapy include:
- Improved communication
- Better listening skills
- Mirroring healthy behaviors
- Mirroring addiction stories
- Inclusive community
- Accountability partners
- Structure
- A range of perspectives
- Stronger boundaries
Group therapy is often a place to practice tools from individual therapy sessions before using them out in the world or in family therapy sessions. This can help clients build new healthy habits, change harmful behaviors, and realize their addiction story may be like those around them. This can help clients break out of addiction mindsets and focus on recovery.
