Group Therapy For Substance Abuse Treatment
The benefits of group therapy during substance abuse treatment cannot be expressed enough. Working within a support group allows you to get feedback from others regarding your substance abuse. You’ll get to know the others in your groups very well, and you’ll work together regularly.
The people you meet will all be just like you. They may be hardworking professionals, or they may be moms and dads. They may be sons and daughters. The people you meet may be blue-collar workers. Substance abuse happens to those from all walks of life. Group therapy can be quite eye-opening, regardless of what level of treatment you’re in.
You will also find it to be very appealing to participate in group therapy when all the participants are women. Sometimes when women are involved in support groups with men, it’s more difficult for them to share their feelings. Because of this, they may avoid saying something that would embarrass them or make them feel uncomfortable.
At Denver Women’s Recovery and Summit Women’s Recovery, our Women’s Recovery staff wants you to feel comfortable at all times. We know how important your outpatient treatment is, and group therapy is an essential part of that. Like your individual counseling sessions, group therapy will be very rewarding for you.
