Group therapy is a type of psychotherapy that consists of a therapist, psychologist, or an addiction specialist adept in group therapy who guides a therapy session with a group of clients who are ideally all struggling with similar issues. Group therapy in Alton can take place in a treatment facility, a church, or similar setting where this type of meeting can occur without disturbance. Group therapy is commonly a crucial aspect of addiction rehabilitation.
If an individual is in treatment for substance abuse and addiction, group therapy and individualized therapy, when combined, can offer healing in different ways. Group therapy can help the person in treatment feel like they are not alone and have support for their problems, frustrations, troubles, etc. It can help people overcome social anxiety as well, because it can take a lot for someone to open up about such deep issues to people they really don't know very well. Once the social timidness has gone away, individuals in group therapy gain confidence and friendliness with people who are dealing with similar issues. 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 part of a robust support system.
