Group therapy is a form of treatment that consists of a therapist, psychologist, or certified addiction professional trained in group therapy who conducts a therapy session with a group of people who are ideally all struggling with similar difficulties. Group therapy in Berkeley can take place in a treatment program, an office, a church, or similar place where the meeting can happen without distraction. Group therapy is often a crucial component of substance recovery.
If someone is receiving treatment for substance abuse and addiction, group therapy and individual therapy, when done together, can provide healing in various ways. Group therapy can help an individual in rehab feel like they are not alone with their problems, troubles, challenges, etc. It can help someone get over social barriers as well, since it can be challenging for someone to open up about such deep issues to people they really don't know very well. Once the shyness has gone away, people in group therapy acquire clarity and camaraderie with people who are dealing with similar challenges. And even more so, they can share in each other's progress and help each other make the positive changes they need to make to recover by being part of a strong support system.
