The thought of group therapy for some is enough to keep them away from enrolling in a therapy program simply because they are afraid to share their struggles with others. A group therapy program is a significant part of a treatment program that treats addiction, depression, PTSD, and other types of mental health conditions. It helps people see that they are not alone in their struggles and that talking about their problems with others can aid in the recovery process.

Group Therapy for Addiction
Generations of people grew up hearing that talking about their feelings with others is bad. Parents would tell children to “keep it to themselves” and “no one wants to hear you complain.” This led to a large percentage of our society believing that talking with a therapist would not help. Fortunately, today there is a concentrated effort to show people the benefits of therapy and how it can help with a host of problems.
During group therapy for addiction, therapists use a mix of different behavioral and holistic therapies that teach people a number of healthy life skills. They get a chance to practice coping and communication skills through a number of activities, such as:
- Role-playing games
- Group discussions
- Nature hikes
- Creative writing
- Nutrition education
There are several group therapy services that can benefit people who are struggling with addiction, major depressive disorder, social anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and other treatable conditions. Group therapy also helps people see how others are coping with similar issues and gain new perspectives from different walks of life.
At Virtue Recovery Las Vegas – Substance Use Disorder, we provide clients with group therapy for addiction treatment along with private therapy sessions through our outpatient treatment programs. Each program is tailored to the individual and will include a mix of behavioral and holistic therapies with medical support.
What to Expect During a Group Therapy Treatment
Enrolling in a group therapy treatment program for the first time can be a little nerve-wracking if you don’t know what to expect. After spending some time in group therapy sessions, clients quickly realize how beneficial group therapy can be, which can encourage them to continue therapy.
Here is what you can expect after enrolling in a group therapy program:
- One or more behavioral therapists will work with the group to facilitate group discussions, role-playing games, and other activities that support addiction recovery.
- Clients will work in pairs or in smaller groups to practice coping and communication skills to feel more confident in managing their symptoms and communicating their feelings.
- Some treatment programs include outdoor group activities, which can include animal-assisted therapy, nature hikes, journaling, and other outdoor activities.
- Develop healthy relationships with others in group therapy that can turn into lifelong friendships that will continue to support your sober lifestyle and healthy living.
- Families can also benefit from group therapy treatment and work together to resolve any lingering conflicts caused by the abuse. They will also learn how to create a stable and supportive home environment that will benefit the entire family.
A group therapy treatment program is an essential part of an all-encompassing addiction treatment program. Without it, clients will miss out on the peer relationships that can form during therapy, along with a host of other therapeutic benefits.
