March 29, 2025
Written By: Sara Cothern, LCSW
Group therapy can be a great way for people in addiction recovery and substance use disorder therapy to achieve long-term sobriety by providing a supportive and structured environment to work through their recovery journey with others in similar situations. Unlike individual therapy, group therapy settings foster a sense of community, allowing participants to share experiences, gain insight from others, develop interpersonal skills, and reduce feelings of shame.
Structured group activities help people at all stages of recovery by reinforcing coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and building confidence in navigating recovery. These activities foster accountability and encourage open communication, making therapy sessions more effective.
