What is Group Therapy?

In the broadest of terms, group therapy is a tool that is regularly applied in clinical addiction and rehab settings, a form of psychotherapy wherein a therapist treats a small group of people connected by a common concern, condition, or experience.

At Vita Recovery, we often recommend group therapy as a part of our holistic addiction treatment programs. We’ve seen how involving group dynamics can nurture breakthroughs in coping strategy development, facilitate addiction education, and perhaps most importantly, instill a sense of community and belonging to a regional cohort of professionals on the journey to better health and happier lives.

Different Forms of Group Therapy

Many research-backed techniques work in group settings. Focusing on addiction, group therapy options can be narrowed down to:

  • Cognitive therapies - dealing with thought processes and behaviors that drive addiction

  • Dynamic therapies - focused on parsing behavioral regulation deficits

  • Psychoeducational groups - providing lectures and opportunities to discuss addiction science in-depth

  • Interpersonal groups - focused on interpersonal support, behavior, connection, relationships, and roles

What Are the Benefits of Group Therapy?

Despite some unfortunate misconceptions, group therapy is never just a budget option for administering therapeutic interventions en masse. Group therapy is an invaluable tool with qualities that complement and fill in the gaps of one-on-one therapy. We find that group therapy also provides many roads to the existential catharsis that are simply not present in individual therapy. Synchronizing these allows clients to:

  • Find their voice - even the best communicators begin to silence themselves in addiction

  • Practice positive and collaborative interpersonal and relational skills

  • Engage a safety net - clients often build a support group that last a lifetime

  • Model, imitate, and innovate coping skills together

  • Navigate vulnerability - giving and receiving trust is a profound factor in mutual aid

  • Connect to the community - addiction is a lonely place, but some elements are universal, and group therapy reminds us that we are not alone.

How Vita Recovery Uses Group Therapy

Many therapeutic interventions have been designed or adapted for efficacy in group settings. At Vita Recovery, group therapy is a vital tool and space in which to highlight areas to delve deeper into.

Before making any recommendations, we begin with a series of medical and psycho-social assessments that the therapist will use to form a bespoke treatment plan and recommendations for each unique client. Our experienced in-house specialists may provide:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  • Solution-oriented therapy

  • Psychoeducational therapy

  • 12-step principle therapeutic support groups

  • Family therapy and counseling for family members

FAQ: Group Therapy

How Group Therapy Differs From Individual Therapy?

Group therapy often involves the same therapeutic backbone as other options, but it is not just individual therapy with more than one person involved. Member-to-member group dynamics and relationships are invaluable, cultivating many new ways of approaching issues. The best outcomes result when each person takes advantage of the setting.


How Long Does Group Therapy Typically Last?

A session with your therapy group will typically last between one and two hours. We schedule our sessions to control group size and ensure that each of the members has time to talk and fully engage. Long term sessions with the same cohort may span one to three months.


How Is Confidentiality Handled in Group Therapy?

Our clients come from high-pressure walks of life, and confidentiality is a professional standard we uphold with the utmost care at all times. While we find members’ similar experiences do promote shared understanding, privacy, and trust, participants are never pressured to divulge more than they are comfortable with.


What Types of Issues Can Be Addressed in Group Therapy?

From professional to relationship issues, to family conflict, to personal emotional struggles and feelings, addiction’s influence can be seen all over everyday life - and therapy groups are encouraged to share organically. The therapist works to facilitate guided, relevant, and balanced conversations but is unlikely to restrict participants on issues.


How Does Group Therapy Address Addiction and Substance Abuse Issues?

Group therapy takes manual-informed addiction treatment to a collective setting. Typically, this form of therapy will place special focus on long-term relapse prevention tools, resilience building, and motivational enhancement. It may also involve psychoeducational lectures and discussions, role play, and other interpersonal tools that employ the assets of collective learning.


How Often Do We Need to Come for Therapy Sessions?

It could be daily or weekly, this depends on your needs. Vita Recovery clients receive individually crafted schedules informed by: Enrolment in either our PHP or IOP program Personal medical history, the substance of abuse, and any co-occurring disorders Individual client psycho-social and lifestyle needs and responsibilities


How Can Group Therapy Improve My Life?

In addition to the coping or motivational skills intrinsic to the type of psychotherapy administered, participants in group therapy have the chance to grow in many ways as individuals. Members build relationships and work on social skills, including anger management, trust, and self-compassion - often reporting long-lasting changes in self-esteem and a more positive outlook for life and the future.


Is Group Therapy Suitable for All Types of Mental Health Issues?

Group therapy services can and very often do promote healing from several mental health conditions, including substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, and various other issues - but don't trust those who say 'one-size-fits-all' as it doesn't - group therapy should be a specialist, informed, goal-oriented part of an adaptive treatment plan.


How Is Group Therapy Different From Support Groups?

Group therapy is a clinical tool, administered by a therapist to clients expressing similar concerns. A support group is often a meeting of peers that convenes to share feelings and triggers, provide honest feedback, and build a sense of common humanity around shared issues in a supportive environment.
