Group therapy is a type of treatment that involves a therapist, psychologist, or certified addiction specialist trained in group therapy who guides a therapy session with a group of individuals who are ideally all going through similar issues. Group therapy in Lee can take place in a treatment facility, an office, a church, or similar place where the meeting can take place without disturbance. Group therapy is commonly a fundamental part of substance recovery.
If someone is receiving treatment for drug or alcohol addiction, group therapy and individualized therapy, when combined, can provide healing in several ways. Group therapy can help the person in treatment know that they are not alone with their problems, frustrations, challenges, etc. Group therapy can help someone overcome social barriers and anxiety as well, considering that it can be difficult for someone to be open about such deep problems to people they really don't know very well. Once the social timidness has faded, individuals in group therapy achieve confidence and friendliness with people who are working through similar issues. And even more so, they can share in one another's personal improvements and help one another make the positive changes they should make to recover by being part of a strong support system.
