  1. 4 Things to be Aware of in Group Therapy

  2. Group therapy is an option offered at alcohol rehab centers to help treat an alcohol addiction. • This counseling type is used to help treat psychological disorders that occur during substance abuse and addiction. • Group therapy will include regular sessions so that each individual can work on becoming sober, dealing with emotional as well as physical aspects involved with breaking the cycle of alcohol abuse.

  3. When starting group therapy, there are things that you should be aware of. • Knowing what you are getting into can help you feel better about the process of therapy offered by alcohol rehabilitation centers. • Read on to see what you can expect from group therapy sessions.

  4. Small to larger groups • To begin, the size of the group during therapy can be as small as three to four people or more than a dozen individuals. • The number of people in therapy will be dependent on the alcohol rehab centers and the service they provide. • Be aware of the group size and determine if you feel this option will work for you. • Many patients feel uncomfortable discussing personal issues in front of large groups of people, so a smaller group therapy session might work better.

  5. Time Frame • In general, a group therapy session will take place one or two times a week for one to two hours. • This, of course, will vary based on the facility in which you are using for treatment and what type of therapy you need. • During inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse, you may attend longer meetings several times a week to work on issues surrounding your alcohol dependency.

  6. Various Group Therapy Types • Group therapy is not always just about sharing your feelings or stories of your struggle with alcohol. • You may work in groups to develop skills to cope with alcoholism as well as use the group for support or psychoeducational means. • Learn what the group therapy will offer you at the treatment center to find out if the therapy type is a right fit for you and your addiction.

  7. Be Ready to Talk • The point of group therapy is to discuss your addiction in a group setting. • You have to be open and ready to talk about your issues if group therapy is going to work. • Be ready to speak about your addiction and listen to others as you take part in a group therapy session. • Even if you are nervous, you will find that once you start talking, the group therapy session is therapeutic in a variety of ways.
