Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that consists of a therapist, psychologist, or an addiction specialist trained in group therapy who conducts a therapy session with a group of clients who are typically struggling with similar issues. Group therapy in New Bedford can take place in a treatment center, a church, or similar place where such a meeting can happen without distraction. Group therapy is often a very important component of drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
If someone is receiving treatment for alcohol or drug addiction, group therapy and individualized therapy, when combined, can provide recovery in various ways. Group therapy can help an individual in recovery know that they are not alone and have support for their frustrations, troubles, etc. It can also help individuals overcome social barriers and anxiety as well, because it can be difficult for the person to be open about personal problems to people they really don't even know. Once the social awkwardness has faded, people in group therapy achieve confidence and fellowship with others who are facing similar challenges. And even more so, they can share in each other's personal improvements and help each other make the positive changes they need to make to recover by being involved in a strong support system.
