Interpersonal interactions provided in group therapy aim to promote positive changes in an individual’s maladaptive behavior. When used for addiction, group therapy engages participants on focused discussion and activities (artwork, exercise, etc.) that help individuals develop social skills and foster a sense of commonality.

Our group therapy sessions for addiction recovery are guided by by skilled clinicians with licenses in CASAC, MHC, and Social Work, and aim to promote:

• Interpersonal learning, where members learn how to express their feelings in group settings, as well as their concerns and observations
• A sense of ‘universality’ within its members so each individual doesn’t feel alone or isolated in his or her recovery, as isolation often leads to depression, severe anxiety, or relapse
• A sense of altruism or ‘pro-social behavior’ where members activate alternative reward centers in the brain as a result of helping and supporting each other, also building higher self-esteem
• A sense of encouragement and hope — as members discover that recovery is possible
