Group therapy is a form of treatment that consists of a therapist, psychologist, or an addiction specialist trained in group therapy who leads a therapy session with a group of individuals who are typically struggling with similar challenges. Group therapy in Hilo can take place in a treatment facility, an office, a church, or similar setting where such a meeting can take place without distraction. Group therapy is often a fundamental component of substance rehabilitation.
If an individual is receiving treatment for substance abuse and addiction, group therapy and individualized therapy, when combined, can offer healing in various ways. Group therapy can help the person in recovery feel like they are not alone and have support for their frustrations, troubles, challenges, etc. It can help someone conquer social barriers as well, because it can take a lot for an individual to open up about such deep issues to people they really don't know very well. Once the social timidness has gone away, clients in group therapy achieve conviction and fellowship with people who are experiencing similar problems. And additionally, they can share in one another's progress and help each other make the positive changes they need to make to recover by being part of a robust support system.
