This type of therapy involves the dynamics of group interaction, including group confrontation of denial, dealing with issues of interpersonal conflict or closeness, and the sharing of painful experiences or affects. Group therapy can be agroup therapy supportive, therapeutic, and educational experience that can motivate and sustain invididuals struggling to cope with life stresses and drug craving while remaining drug free.

Group therapy offers individuals opportunities to identify with others who are going through similar problems, to understand the impact of substance use on their lives, to learn more about their own and others' feelings and reactions, and to learn to communicate needs and feelings more constructively. Group therapy can also be useful in providing a forum for discussing and updating the treatment plan and for developing and monitoring specific behaviors that promote recovery and prevent relapse.

I am a living testimony that Group Therapy works. It helps you get out of the box that we so quickly create for ourselfs. There are no lone rangers in recovery, we all play a different role, but we all are apart of the same team of life. I would like to thank my wife who lead me to my first group, which then lead me to a new life. Still recovering by one moment at a time, Rob T

Group therapy is very important to me because on the streets I didn't know how to interact with people on a everyday, normal, emotional level. Group therapy helped me get in touch with myself

I can attest,group therapy has opened doors that I have kept closed my whole life.Vince Carter Sanctuary has changed my life forever. Talking with like minded people makes it easier to open up and be honest with yourself and others. In my case, honesty is the key foundation to my sobriety.Along with group therapy,and a solid support system.I believe I can maintain my sobriety. VCS has made it possible for me to deal with life's problems without having to resort to drugs or alcohol.All I can say is "Slam Dunk"!!!

I strongly agree that Group Therapy, when done in a alcohol treatment facility can be very effective.
