Addiction and Group Psychotherapy
Addiction is a disease of isolation. Group therapy combats that isolation. Addiction treatment has been intricately associated with group psychotherapy for more than sixty years because of this very simple principle: addiction treatment is more effective when it is provided in groups. Group therapy provides those suffering from addiction the same thing everyone needs--an attachment experience in which the person feels accepted and belongs while he or she resolves their addiction problem. Many of our group member are also in 12-step programs and find that group therapy compliments their recovery program.

Interpersonal Group Psychotherapy
Group psychotherapy is only helpful if it addresses and changes the ineffective, ingrained patterns of our relationships and the way we relate to others. A properly conducted group allows for the creation of a person’s social microcosm, where the patterns of people’s relationships outside of group are recreated inside the group. Group members are allowed the opportunity to witness how their behavior impacts others and how, in turn, they are impacted by others. Within the “here & now” interaction of the group, members are given the opportunity to learn new skills in relating to others.

Relational Group Psychotherapy
Time and time again, group members are stunned to realize that they have all their lives been doing things for reasons utterly different from those they conjectured were their motives. The group itself, when used effectively, is a vehicle for people to identify and deal with their emotional blocks and limitations. The successful group member finishes not simply with a superior capacity to relate to others, but also with more inner comfort and with a far better ability to realize his or her own potential.
