Group therapy is a specific form of psychotherapy that is provided by one or more therapists, to a group of people, at the same time. Studies show that when administered properly, group therapy can be as effective as individual therapy.
dThe guiding principle of group therapy for substance abuse is “power in numbers.” The ultimate goal of group therapy is to create a sense of belonging or relatability through understanding, which happens when group members share their common experiences with drug and alcohol addiction. Group therapy provides those in recovery from substance use disorders with peer support and accountability in an environment where they can learn new skills and coping mechanisms from each other.
This article explains group therapy, including how it works, what it helps with, and who it is for.

What Is Group Therapy?
The first recorded session of group psychotherapy was in 1906, when Dr. J. H. Pratt, a Boston physician, provided group instruction about home care to tuberculosis patients. While working with these patients he noticed the beneficial emotional side effects that occurred as a result of these group sessions.
Group therapy was then proven especially helpful in the 1940s in treating World War II veterans who had experienced trauma as a result of combat. In 1944, the US Army released a report commending the benefits of group therapy. It’s since become an increasingly popular type of therapy.
Today, group therapy is very common and is frequently used to treat a wide range of addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions, including:
- Anxiety
- Anger management
- Bipolar disorder
- Depression
- Eating disorders
- Phobias
- Substance abuse
Group therapy is offered in a variety of different settings, including:
- Addiction treatment centers
- Community centers
- Correctional facilities
- Hospitals
- Mental health clinics
- Private practices
Group Therapy vs Individual Psychotherapy
Techniques used in group therapy differ from those employed in individual therapy. Individual therapy consists of one-on-one sessions where the therapist focuses on the individual feelings and needs of the patient. During group therapy, the therapist often facilitates discussions amongst group members which are designed to help people share experiences and work towards solutions to problems together.
Whether group therapy or individual therapy is most effective depends entirely on the individual and their unique needs. It’s common for people who are recovering from substance abuse to participate in both individual and group therapy. When paired together, individual therapy and group therapy complement each other as part of a comprehensive addiction treatment program.
General Characteristics of a Group
According to the American Psychological Association, therapy groups can be of any size but usually contain 5-15 people on average. Sessions are commonly held on a weekly basis and last 1-2 hours.
Group sessions are designed to be either open or closed. Open groups allow members to join at any time. Whereas, closed groups are made up of a specific group of people who all become members at the same time.
Some patients will only do group therapy, whereas others may attend group sessions alongside individual therapy and other treatments. Group therapy may occur more frequently (e.g. on a daily basis) if an individual is enrolled in an inpatient addiction treatment program or participating in a self-help support group, such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
Types of Group Therapy for Addiction Treatment
There are several different kinds of group therapy commonly used in treating substance use disorders. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), they generally fall into one of the following types of therapeutic models:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT
These psychotherapy groups are focused on relapse prevention and helping people develop new skills and coping mechanisms, including how to manage difficult emotions like anger.
Interpersonal process psychology groups
This form of psychotherapy is focused on working through trauma that may have occurred in an addict’s life. Processing these experiences provides individuals with deeper insight into their own behaviors, which leads toward personal acceptance.
Psychoeducational groups
Psychoeducational groups are a form of group therapy that is focused on providing education through peer information-sharing and the development of healthy coping mechanisms. During sessions, a qualified therapist leads the discussion, encouraging group members to share their experiences and set goals.
Skills development groups
This form of group therapy is designed to help people develop, hone and practice skills that are required to remain abstinent and avoid relapse. This typically includes relaxation training, meditation, and life skills training.
Support groups
Substance abuse recovery groups are voluntary associations of people who share a common desire to overcome their addiction. They are focused on providing relapse prevention and peer support.
Other forms of group therapy include:
Many support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) use the 12-step model, where members work on their recovery with the help of a sponsor, whom they can call for guidance, or when they’re at risk of relapsing. In lieu of a trained therapist, group sessions are usually led by a fellow group member who is also in recovery. It’s common for people to continue to attend 12-step groups for many years.
Non-12-step programs
These include Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) Recovery, Women for Sobriety, Secular Organizations for Sobriety (S.O.S.), LifeRing Secular Recovery, and more.
Relapse prevention groups
This form of group therapy is designed to provide continuous relapse prevention support through a combination of psychological education that discusses the consequences of addiction, cognitive behavioral therapy, and skills development.
Expressive groups
These groups are focused on providing experiential therapy through art, drama, music, and other group activities.
Culturally specific groups
These recovery groups offer culturally specific support and activities.
Benefits of Group Therapy for Addiction Recovery
Recovering from a substance use disorder can feel isolating. Group therapy provides an opportunity for people in recovery from substance abuse to learn more about themselves, and their relationships with others, while being surrounded by a small community of people who have similar issues and experiences.
Group therapy provides members with a sense of belonging and acceptance, which can help boost confidence and self-esteem. Overall, sharing experiences and emotions with one’s peers has shown to reduce stress, guilt, and shame among group members.
As a result, group therapy becomes a place in which members can learn how to avoid engaging in destructive behaviors, such as seeking out substances, and instead, practice new, healthy coping behaviors alongside their peers.
Group therapy also provides psychologists with a unique perspective. Instead of relying on a patient’s self-reports, in a group setting, therapists can observe relational patterns in action, as individuals reveal their struggles through interactions with other group members.
Many of the underlying root causes of addiction stem from traumas that happened in groups (I.e. family, school, religion). During therapy sessions, the therapy group acts as a stand-in for one’s family of origin. This provides individuals with the opportunity to address and heal old wounds derived from past group settings (for example, social anxiety, low self-esteem and interpersonal conflicts) in a way that’s simply not possible in individual sessions.
Goals of Group Therapy
The goals for group therapy are based on specific therapeutic elements, designed to achieve a range of positive benefits. These include:
Altruism
Group therapy encourages people to step outside of themselves and find ways to be in service of others.
Corrective recapitulation
The family-like setting of group therapy can help people work through conflicts they may have within their family of origin.
Catharsis
By providing a safe space, group members are able to give voice to difficult feelings and experiences they may not have been comfortable sharing in other settings.
Existential factors
Group therapy helps individuals work through daily stressors
Instillation of hope
Being amongst group members with similar issues and hearing how they’ve overcome challenges gives people a sense of hope that recovery is possible.
Imparting information
By sharing personal experiences with each other, group members are able to gain knowledge about how to manage recovery.
Imitative behaviors
Through group therapy, participants have the opportunity to learn new coping skills from the behaviors of other members that help them maintain sobriety.
Interpersonal learning
Group therapy teaches participants about interpersonal connections and how to form relationships.
Group cohesiveness
Members receive a sense of acceptance and belonging from group therapy.
Universality
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc eu ultrices augue, fermentum sodales magna.
Socializing techniques
Group therapy helps people feel less alone while teaching valuable social skills.
Development of Self-Awareness
Group therapy enhances self-awareness through peer feedback and recognizing personal behaviors affecting recovery and relationships.
How Group Therapy Helps Treat Substance Abuse
According to SAMHSA, group therapy is designed to help people in recovery move through the six stages of recovery. These include:
Pre-contemplation
In this stage of recovery, individuals are not yet considering changing their substance abuse because they do not think they have a serious problem. They are attending group therapy because other factors led them there (e.g. family, friends, a therapist, or the legal system).
Contemplation
While attending group sessions and receiving guidance from a therapist, the individuals begin to consider altering their consumption or quitting substances altogether.
Preparation
The patient may still be using substances, but now recognizes the benefits of quitting.
Action
At this point, the individual chooses a strategy to end their substance abuse. They begin making the necessary changes to follow through with a plan, alongside the support of the therapist and other group members.
Maintenance
The individual works tirelessly to remain abstinent and avoid relapsing. At this point, some people achieve full recovery.
Recurrence
Since the individual has gained a better understanding of themselves and their behavior while attending group therapy, if a relapse occurs, it’s easier for them to return to the maintenance stage.
Group Therapy With Other Treatments
Depending on the severity of the addiction and the substances being abused, the patient may need to undergo medical detox and medication-assisted treatment before they’re able to begin group therapy.
For example, individuals with an opioid use disorder may require medications such as methadone or buprenorphine to manage withdrawal symptoms. Often, mental health professionals will determine when an individual is ready for group therapy. Depending on the patient and the type of group therapy, a therapist may refer them to group therapy immediately or, alternately, once they reach the maintenance phase.
What to Expect in a Group Therapy Session
During group therapy, chairs are often arranged in a circle so that everyone in the group is able to see each other during the session. However, if the group is larger, seating may be arranged in rows facing a podium. While therapy sessions vary depending on the type of group therapy, group sessions tend to have the following structure:
- Introduction
Members introduce themselves and briefly state why they are attending group therapy. This may occur at the start of group therapy, at the beginning of every session, or whenever a new group member joins if it’s an open group. Introductions may also include ice-breaker activities designed for group members to get to know each other. During this portion of group therapy, it’s common for group members to test each other’s boundaries. While this can be jarring initially, it can lead to deeper, more beneficial work as therapy progresses.
2. Updates
Next, returning group members may opt to share updates and experiences since the last group session.
3. Group discussion
The facilitator or therapist will then decide what shape the meeting will take. This may involve group discussion amongst members or a focused educational session.
In addition to the above, the group therapist or facilitator may also use a variety of different learning tools, including, audio and visual aids, homework, memory improvement techniques, written projects, and role-playing.
How Long Does Group Therapy Last?
The length of time an individual will remain in group therapy depends on a variety of factors, including the type of therapy being administered, a person’s level of motivation to participate, and what stage of recovery they’re in.
Substance abuse treatment programs often require patients to attend a minimum number of sessions over a set period of time (e.g. 6 sessions over a 3-month period). However, group therapy sessions lasting up to one year may also be recommended. These kinds of therapy sessions usually take place at an outpatient rehab center or as part of an intensive outpatient program.
If an individual is being treated at an inpatient treatment center, they may attend group therapy daily for the duration of their stay.
Lastly, if an individual is in the maintenance stage of recovery, they may choose to join a support group, 12-step group, or another relapse prevention group, for peer accountability and support. In the case of 12-step groups, many people are active members for years.
How Effective is Group Therapy in Treating Addictions?
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), group therapy works as well as individual therapy for many conditions. Over 50 clinical trials have compared patients who participated in individual or group treatment, and all studies found that both formats produced the same level of improvement for a variety of mental health and substance use disorders.
Studies have also shown that interacting with peers during group therapy provides unique therapeutic benefits. In fact, according to Stanford University’s Irvin David Yalom, MD, author of the 2005 book “The Theory and Practice of Group Psychology,” participating in group therapy with one’s peers may be more helpful than receiving guidance from a therapist since people are more likely to connect and identify with their peers.
Support groups such as 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) can also be very effective in helping people in recovery from substance abuse. In fact, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism looked at people who were formally treated, informally treated (attended AA meetings), and untreated individuals who suffered from alcohol abuse, and found that 49% of individuals who attended AA were abstinent, as compared to 46% of people who received formal treatment.
It’s also important to note that group therapy exceeds the APA’s Society of Clinical Psychology’s standards for efficacy in treating bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, substance use disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and general personality disorder.
Questions to Ask When Considering Group Therapy
While group therapy is known to be effective in treating substance abuse disorders, research shows that it is most effective when the group members have a common identity and a sense of shared purpose.
Furthermore, research shows that two leaders or group therapists are better than one. Members of co-led groups experience greater benefits than those who participate in individually led groups. An additional person who can listen and respond makes a difference when group leaders are trying to follow multiple interactions.
Therefore, it’s important to find a group therapy scenario that is well-suited to your personal needs. Before choosing group therapy, here are some questions to consider.
Is the topic or theme specific to what you’re experiencing?
Is the demographic of the group (e.g. age, gender) appropriate and one that you’d feel comfortable in?
Is it an open or closed group? Which do you prefer?
Can you easily access the group meetings?
Does the group therapy schedule work with yours so that you can attend consistently and on time?
Is the cost affordable? Will you have to pay out of pocket or do you have some coverage through an insurance plan?
If you’re unsure of what kind of group therapy would be best, speak with a mental health professional. They’ll be able to provide you with the necessary information so you can make the best decision for you or your loved one.
Cost of Group Therapy
The cost of group therapy varies based on factors such as location, frequency of treatment, and individual insurance coverage. However, group therapy is often up to half the cost of individual therapy, which makes it an attractive option for many people.
Group therapy is usually offered as part of an inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment program and therefore, included in the overall cost of rehab.
Insurance
Depending on your insurance plan, the cost of group therapy may be covered to a certain extent. Many insurance plans will cover group therapy as long as it is evidence-based, run by a professional, and medically necessary.
Additionally, individuals may also receive coverage if group therapy is part of a comprehensive addiction treatment program. Under the Affordable Care Act in the United States, substance abuse treatment must be covered under ACA insurance plans. ACA plans also can’t disqualify you for having a pre-existing substance use disorder or cap spending on addiction treatment. Many private medical insurance providers also offer addiction treatment coverage to varying degrees.
When researching which rehab options that include group therapy, consult your insurance provider to find out what kind of coverage is available.
Free and Low-cost Group Therapy Options
In addition to the options outlined above, many free and low-cost group therapy options exist. Addiction recovery support groups and 12-Step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) are usually free, although you may be asked to contribute to operational costs such as room rental, coffee, and snacks.
Your doctor is a valuable source of local information. They will be able to put you in touch with support groups and group therapy providers in your area that work in addiction recovery.
Risks and Drawbacks of Group Therapy
Although there are many benefits to group therapy, there are also drawbacks that make it not suitable for everyone.
Less private
Group therapy often requires that participants share their personal struggles with the group. People with social anxiety or those who have a fear of public speaking may find group therapy uncomfortable and therefore, be better suited to individual therapy.
Confidentiality
While it’s easy to keep what’s shared in individual therapy confidential between the patient and the therapist, this becomes more difficult in a group setting. Individuals who are very private and concerned about confidentiality may find individual therapy a better fit.
Lack of individual attention
During group therapy, individuals are required to share the stage with other members. People with more severe mental health issues or those who are prone to downplaying their struggles in a group setting may benefit more from the one-on-one approach provided by individual therapy.
Member dropout
Facilitator drawbacks
Unless a facilitator is a licensed mental health professional, they may not be equipped to deal with some of the issues that arise in group therapy. Poor leadership from a facilitator is also a risk factor.
Interpersonal conflicts
If someone is prone to conflict in their interpersonal relationships they might not get along with certain group members.
Not recommended for people experiencing mental health crises
For example, someone who is feeling suicidal or in need of medical detoxification should seek emergency healthcare services, not attend a group therapy session.

I have been a professional interventionist since 2010. I was introduced to this program in 2012. I have been referring there since then. My clients have always had a positive experience and the clinical and support staff are the most responsive and knowledgeable. They want what’s best for the client and the family and have long term options. They do very well young adult males and most recently I referred a 69 year old man first time treatment. It was a family member and he’s doing very well and committed to 90 days of treatment. I can’t thank the clinical staff and administrators enough for the program they have created. Please contact me if you would like to know more. Thank you STC!!!

I was just calling around to find a local detox, when I accidently called AIS and someone answered the phone, and immediately tried convincing me to fly to floida the next day… I wasn’t having it. Hung up on him. Then my phone started ringing with Florida a number over and over and I finally picked up, and began speaking with someone different, some guy with deep voice named Drew. He promised he just wanted to talk to me- and wouldn’t pressure me to commit to anything I wasn’t ready for. He said he wanted to hear my story, learn about me and what had me reaching out of help. Before I knew it, it had been about an hour of chit chatting, comparing war stories, when Drew asked if he could send me links to both the Florida and California locations. I got spoked again, and hung up on him, too. I walked away from from phone for about 30 mins and when I came back, I had missed calls and a few texts from Drew, just asking me to call him back, even if I wasn’t commmiting to anything. He wasn’t pushy or aggressive. He was the fist person I felt I could be honest with in years, and I trusted him more than I trusted myself at that moment. He told me personal things about himself and we shared our experiences as I laughed and cried, realizing he was right, and I needed to go away for a while to help myself. I was an uber, booked by Drew, to the airport for a flight, also booked by Drew, the next day. I can confidently say AIS was life changing for me, but without Drew on the other end of the phone, I wouldn’t have gone anywhere. Of all of the staff- the drs, nurses, support staff, etc… I give Drew, the guy on the phone, my hero badge. If you’re lucky enough to get this guy on the phone when you call- consider yourself in good hands. AIS is a great place to rediscover how important, strong, and loved you are. It’s people like Drew who convince you’re worthy of the help.

Going to Rise was the best decision of my life. Allison was a godsend to me at a dark point in my life and was able to get me into Rise’s treatment program with short notice. The team there is unparalleled. I wish I could name everyone that were members of my treatment team at Rise, but a few shoutouts to Nam for driving my sad sack self to Rise, baking amazing bread, and being an amazing support from Day 1, Shari & Zach from nursing for the care, fun, pep talks, and compassion, Dr Mark for his wisdom and pragmatic approach that I really resonated with, and numerous others (the chefs are next-level good, Tessa, Luke, Saber, Destiny, Cesar, Cat, Michael, Terry, Adrian, etc).
Outside of the fantastic staff, I’ll add that the house is gorgeous, the groups are varied and enriching, there’s a good balance between free time & groups, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, and they do a great job of ensuring that you have access to outside appointments – for example, I was able to go to Passover services while at Rise without having to go through a lot of hoops/bureaucracy.
The amenities are fun and obviously appreciated, but the heart of this place is really why I would recommend it to a loved one or friend in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much, Rise team!!!

I didn’t walk in expecting much, but this place really surprised me. Detox was handled professionally and the staff genuinely cared. Residential was structured and real—not just talk. I learned a lot and I’m leaving in a much better place.

Rise really means a lot to me. I’ve been to the Malibu location twice, and both times the team made me feel genuinely cared for, supported, and understood during some of the hardest times in my life. Dr. Mark was awesome to work with, and I also want to thank Ron, Sherry, Nam, Tessa, Zack, and Ryan. You all made a bigger impact on me than you probably know. What makes Rise special is that it never just felt like treatment to me — it felt like family. I’ll always have love for the Malibu team and a lot of gratitude for everything they’ve done for me. Also give my compliments to the chefs

I think this is a wonderful rehab, the facilities are beautiful, the food is amazing (I have never even had food this good at a restaurant), and above all they have really helped my husband. Obviously anyone that first goes to rehab isn’t happy with their situation but in just two short months he was a changed person. The work they have them do on themselves got him to finally see why drugs and alcohol are no way of life. He’s finally sober and actually enjoying it! This rehab helped him so much he actually chose to stay LONGER, and I am for once excited for what the future can bring.

My experience here throughout my last few months has completely changed my whole outlook on life. Before I got here I thought my life was going towards the end. My body was failing and mental state was terrible. Every part of the program touches on every aspect of the addicts life. Now that I have finished the program and started living daily life with all of the gains I got throughout the program, failure isn’t an option. I know I can truly be happy sober now. I finally gained back the love and support from my life partner and best friend I always knew was still there. My mom also believes in me again which is so important to me. The possibilities and happiness are endless now. Thank you Elevate.
