What Is Group Therapy for Addiction Recovery?

Group therapy blends a group of people – usually facing similar issues in addiction recovery – with one or more therapists. Group therapy requires the therapist to balance the needs of many clients, carefully addressing shared issues while ensuring unique challenges are also addressed. Group therapy provides a safe space for addiction recovery to share common experiences without judgment. Many clients learn in group therapy that their addiction story is like others.

Group therapy comes with the same guidelines as individual therapy sessions. Clients gather daily and weekly to discuss addiction recovery and mental health. Therapists cultivate a safe space where clients can grow through addiction recovery together. Benefits of group therapy include:

  • Solidarity
  • Mirroring
  • Cost-effective therapy
  • Community building
  • Long-lasting friendships
  • Improved communication skills
  • Improved boundaries

Like individual therapy, group therapy relies on trust and confidentiality. It can be a great way for people in recovery to improve communication skills and better understand their addiction.

What Happens in Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions vary greatly from session to session. Each therapist has their approach, and each session is a blend of what clients bring to therapy. At least two factors determine the structure of therapy.

First is the type of therapy a clinician practices. A cognitive-behavioral therapist will focus on helping clients understand how to control thoughts and feelings, shift behaviors and build emotional resilience. An interpersonal therapist will be interested in the role relationships play in each client’s life and the room. An emotionally focused therapist will prioritize healthy attachments. In most cases, group therapists blend a wide variety of approaches, depending on the clients’ needs.

Second, the therapist will alter their approach based on the group’s needs each day. The group also has significant control over the direction of a session, giving people a sense of safety and control. The values, political views, personalities, and relative comfort levels of group members play into how sessions unfold. Some people may be comfortable in group therapy and talk frequently. Others take time to build trust, find their voice and open up to the group. Group therapy can be a deeply healing component of addiction recovery in both cases.
