Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that consists of a psychologist, therapist, or certified addiction professional adept in group therapy who conducts a therapy session with a group of clients who are all experiencing similar troubles. Group therapy in Virginia can take place in a treatment program, a church, or similar setting where the meeting can occur without disturbance. Group therapy is often a very important aspect of addiction rehabilitation.
If someone is receiving treatment for alcohol or drug addiction, group therapy and individual therapy, when done together, can offer recovery in several ways. Group therapy can help the person in treatment know that they are not alone and have support for their frustrations, challenges, etc. It can also help individuals get over social barriers as well, since it can be difficult for an individual to be open about personal issues to people they really don't even know. Once the social timidness has gone away, individuals in group therapy gain confidence and camaraderie with others who are dealing with similar issues. And even more so, they can share in each other's personal improvements and help one another make the positive changes they must make to recover by being involved in a strong support system.
