Group therapy is a form of treatment that involves a psychologist, therapist, or an addiction specialist trained in group therapy who directs a therapy session with a group of individuals who are ideally all struggling with similar troubles. Group therapy in St. Clairsville can take place in a rehabilitation center, an office, a church, or similar setting where such a meeting can take place without distraction. Group therapy is often a fundamental component of drug and alcohol treatment.
If an individual is in treatment for substance abuse and addiction, group therapy and individual therapy, when done together, can provide recovery in several ways. Group therapy can help the person in treatment know that they are not alone and have support for their problems, challenges, etc. It can also help someone overcome social barriers as well, since it can take a lot for someone to open up about personal problems to people they really don't know very well. Once the social timidness has faded, clients in group therapy acquire conviction and friendliness with people who are dealing with 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.
