A group therapy program is one of the most important factors in any successful opioid addiction recovery program. Unlike an individual therapy program, group counseling in MAT and other opioid-recovery programs reduces feelings of isolation that can accompany substance use issues. It also generates feedback from peers, improving self-reflection, provides peer accountability, and enhances social skills training. At Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery, we offer group therapy programs as part of your drug addiction treatment to give you a well-rounded treatment approach that works.

The Benefits of Group Therapy
For clients in recovery from opioid addiction, group counseling in integrated care settings can provide a myriad of benefits. Consider, for example, the opportunity to learn from each treatment team member and the opportunity to build community in the journey to achieve recovery and accountability.
CMAR’s group therapy sessions involve all of the following:
- Psychoeducational and medical education – Knowing more about the disease of addiction can help you maintain your sobriety
- Interpersonal processing opportunities – You’ll gain perspective as you share your struggles with others
- Help for clients as they work through problems – As you face challenges on the road to recovery, you’ll have a network of support to lean on
- Feedback and accountability – You’ll learn from your peers in recovery
Being in a support group has essential advantages because you’re with people who are going through what you’re experiencing and understand how you feel. They’ve been where you are right now and have walked the same path as you. Experts in their various fields cater to your treatment program and do not feel isolated because they understand exactly how you feel.
One of the key benefits of a facility-based rehab support group is that the leaders of such groups create a judgment-free atmosphere that gives members the freedom they need to express themselves.
What to Expect in Group Therapy
Your group therapy sessions will be made up of others with shared issues of concern. You’ll come together with the help of a trained, experienced therapist to provide each other with various types of help and support. During sessions, you’ll talk about specific topics, share coping strategies for empowerment, and provide a sense of community for one another.
In group therapy sessions, participants relay their personal experiences with addiction, listening, accepting, and learning from one another without judgment. They also provide a judgment-free environment for their members that affords them a sympathetic understanding of their issues and helps them to establish useful social networks.
It’s common for participants to feel unsure at first about openly sharing their experiences. However, not only will your group therapy sessions be a judgment-free zone, but they’re also a safe place where you can share personal issues. You’re guaranteed to have privacy.
