Maintaining a participation in aftercare programming is one of the best indicators of long term sobriety and success, and one of the most common forms of continuing aftercare is continuing participation in group therapy.

Social Support That Goes Beyond Rehab

The group therapy may be either the support group style or the cognitive behavioral style, but the focus of the group will shift from an exploration of the issues of recovery, to more concrete discussions on relapse prevention, shared experiences, strategies for temptations avoidance, and a continuation of social support and community.

Group therapy in drug treatment remains ubiquitous, and is one of the most effective ways to maximize the therapeutic attention of a limited number of addictions professionals, and encourage modeling of hope, strategies of abstinence, and social support between a group of people enduring a very similar and difficult process of recovery.
