Group Therapy<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/header>

When most people think about substance use treatment programs, they picture a group of people sitting in a room, discussing how they can best stay sober together. That image depicts group therapy, one of the most time-tested and evidence-based methods for helping people overcome substance use disorders.<\/p>\n

At Supreme Wellness Recovery, group therapy is an important module in all of our addiction treatment programs because it\u2019s proven time and again that it just works.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

What Is Group Therapy?<\/b> <\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/header>

Group therapy is when a group of people with a shared problem discusses their struggles, accomplishments, beliefs, and fears about recovery. With the help of a trained group counselor, these groups can provide a strong sense of support and social proof that recovery is possible.<\/p>\n

In Supreme Wellness group therapy, the healing happens between group members themselves. Our counselor will provide structure and facilitate discussion, not provide individual therapy to each member.<\/p>\n

Group therapy was invented for practical reasons. Therapists wanted to be able to help more people, but individual therapy was too expensive for most people to afford. Therapists reasoned that they could provide therapy to a group of people at once, cutting their costs and making treatment more accessible.<\/p>\n

After beginning these groups, they found that group therapy was often much more effective than individual therapy for helping people overcome their struggles. People with shared experiences are better positioned to help each other than a therapist alone, as they can truly empathize with each other and share solutions that worked for them.<\/p>\n

In addition, it puts the power back into the hands of the treatment participants. The source of healing is from themselves, not from an outside therapist, although our professionals are there to provide support every step of the way.<\/p>\n

What Is the Purpose of a Treatment Group?<\/h2>\n

Treatment groups provide a space for people struggling with a common problem to work together to improve their lives. The combination of an empathetic group, a licensed professional counselor, and the opportunity to share difficult experiences and celebrate triumphs makes Supreme Wellness\u2019s group therapy highly effective for helping people to overcome their addictions and learn to live sober.<\/p>\n
