Group Therapy

Group Therapy for Drug Rehab Near Pittsburgh


Group therapy typically consists of more than one person being treated at the same time by at least one, and sometimes maybe two, counselors or therapists. Group sizes depend based on the type of group and the purpose it is trying to serve. Substance abuse or alcohol abuse group therapy programs usually range anywhere from 6-12 clients in one session.

At DreamLife Recovery a drug rehab facility near Pittsburgh, PA, we encourage those receiving treatment to join and participate in a group program. Group therapy for addiction treatment can be an incredibly productive time for patients to reflect, communicate and learn from each other. Recovery should not be done alone, and one of the many benefits of group therapy programs is the sense of community that is formed.

Benefits of Group Counseling +


As previously mentioned, a group setting gives you access to a community support system which will be beneficial during your treatment, as well as afterwards during recovery. It’s possible for real friendships to form during group therapy programs which means you will have a friend that knows what you’re going through.

Group counseling gives you direct access to different viewpoints and sources of inspiration. For example, by listening to others that have issues that are similar to yours, it may help you develop self-awareness. Many times you may hear something in someone else’s story that resonates with your own, helping you look at things differently and more introspectively than you normally would. As a group, you will also be able to celebrate one another’s achievements and help each other get through the tougher times.

Group counseling is a safe space that will help you become comfortable sharing your story in a group setting. Talking about the struggles you’re experiencing out loud can be very therapeutic. Even if you are shy at first, hearing others’ stories will help you open up. And when it comes time to be able to give someone else advice and support, that can be very rewarding.

In the same vein, group therapy will help you with communication and socialization skills. After the initial addiction treatment counseling at our facilities, many people will choose to continue with group support systems such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). From your time in our group therapy program, you will be armed with the tools you need and be fully prepared to participate in these programs.

Benefits of Addiction Group Therapy +


Group therapy in rehab is one of many tools we encourage our patients to take advantage of. Talking through your addiction in group therapy can address the root causes of— and ways to handle  your substance use disorder. The sharing and listening process can help you identify your areas for growth and understand that you’re not alone in recovery. 

We schedule group therapy for addiction treatment throughout your daily life at our rehab center. Before you get started, here’s what you can typically expect from a session:

  • Licensed facilitator: A licensed therapist or counseling professional leads every addiction group therapy session. These facilitators are there to ask questions, acknowledge your strengths and provide opportunities to grow. 
  • Open communication: Communication is at the core of every group treatment for substance abuse. Productive group therapy sessions are honest, vulnerable and supportive, so we encourage every patient to participate.
  • Activities: Some group therapy sessions may include additional activities like drama, drumming or meditation. These activities can be beneficial for self-expression and engagement.
  • Reflection: Reflection is a necessary aspect of any group therapy for alcohol abuse or drug addiction. We encourage ongoing self-reflection so you can learn from your vulnerability as you recover throughout treatment.
