Group therapy is a form of treatment that involves a therapist, psychologist, or an addiction professional trained in group therapy who guides a therapy session with a group of individuals who are all struggling with similar issues. Group therapy in Watkins Glen can take place in a rehab program, an office, a church, or similar place where this type of meeting can take place without disturbance. Group therapy is commonly a very important component of addiction recovery.
If a person is receiving treatment for alcohol or drug addiction, group therapy and individual therapy, when combined, can provide recovery in several ways. Group therapy can help the person in recovery feel like they have support for their frustrations, challenges, etc. Group therapy can help individuals get over social barriers and anxiety as well, since it can be difficult for someone to be open about personal issues to people they really don't even know. Once the social awkwardness has lifted, clients in group therapy acquire confidence and affinity with others who are experiencing similar challenges. And additionally, they can share in each other's personal improvements and help each other make the positive improvements they should make to recover by being part of a strong support system.
