Group Therapy - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Mercer Island, WA.

Group therapy is a type of psychotherapy that consists of a psychologist, therapist, or certified addiction professional trained in group therapy who directs a therapy session with a group of individuals who are all going through similar issues. Group therapy in Mercer Island can take place in a treatment center, an office, a church, or similar setting where this type of meeting can take place without distraction. Group therapy is often a fundamental component of addiction recovery.

If an individual is receiving treatment for drug or alcohol addiction, group therapy and individualized therapy, when done together, can offer healing in several ways. Group therapy can help the person in treatment feel like they have support for their problems, frustrations, challenges, etc. Group therapy can help someone get over social anxiety as well, since it can be challenging for someone to open up about such deep problems to people they really don't know very well. Once the social awkwardness has lifted, individuals in group therapy gain conviction and affinity with people who are facing similar issues. And even more so, they can share in one another's progress and help one another make the positive improvements they must make to recover by being involved in a strong support system.
