Group therapy is a treatment method whereby a group of individuals going through addiction therapy meets and share experiences on a regular basis. The goal of group therapy is to increase positive communication skills, share commonalities, and connect with peers.

Group therapy is a facilitated process where the group is led by an experienced convenor. This environment is a successful and productive experience for participants and can form an integral part of successful addiction therapy treatment.
When you are in recovery you may feel isolated and mentally depleted. One of the many benefits of group therapy is that you are working with other people who are all going through a similar experience to you.
They may have a different background or history, but they are all addicts, and it can be a great comfort sharing your thoughts and feelings with other people who can understand what you are going through.
Group therapy is a form of treatment for addiction where people meet and are guided on ways to treat the root causes behind their addictions. When embarking on group therapy, you can expect to be meeting with a group of people, sometimes a small number and sometimes a larger number, and being guided in treatment.
The exact activities will vary depending on the type of treatment you are undergoing, but the basic premise of group therapy is the promotion of open and honest communication. You are encouraged to share experiences as a way to help yourself and others in your group.
You may meet for group therapy sessions multiple times a day, daily, weekly, or less frequently. You may also be undergoing another form of therapy, such as individual counselling, while you are also going through group therapy.

This initial residential rehab program is the first critical step towards long term recovery. All patients at The Hader Clinic begin with a 28-Day Withdrawal & Detox Program that initiates detox and manages the physical symptoms of withdrawal. Patients also begin group and individual therapy, and learn to enjoy recreational activities.
The aim of this 60 to 90-day residential rehab program is to introduce patients to a life free from addiction, and offer them independence. This program offers a range of therapies, counselling sessions, and other activities for inpatients.
Recovering addicts often need ongoing support as they reintegrate with society. Outpatient Relapse Prevention is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that offers this service in the world outside of our treatment facilities.
Support services exist for recovering addicts after they return to the outside world. These services are similar to the residential rehab treatment services the addicts received at The Hader Clinic.
Group therapy is a key part of your treatment, and you will be participating in group therapy throughout your treatment as an addict. Even if you feel that your story or experience is something shameful, or something you wish to hide, know that sharing in group therapy is a hugely powerful and empowering experience that can benefit you as you move through your treatment for addiction.
The group therapy session is facilitated by a psychologist or therapist who will help all participants to get the maximum benefit from each session. There are rules around behaviours, in that when you are talking no one is permitted to interrupt you, and there are certain behaviours that are encouraged while others are discouraged.
The ultimate aim of group therapy is to foster an environment where the individual is working on their own rehabilitation and growth, while also supporting and getting support from their peers.
As an inpatient at The Hader Clinic you will be attending a certain number of sessions of group therapy, sometimes a few a day, as you begin to tackle your addiction and start on the process of harm reduction and minimisation. As an outpatient, the choice will be up to you, but we will provide guidance on how many group therapy sessions you should attend.
As part of your treatment, you will be participating in a range of therapies and sessions with different practitioners and therapists. Group therapy is an integral part of inpatient and outpatient treatment for addiction because it encourages the collaboration and sharing of experiences and creates new opportunities for growth.
Group therapy can help to treat your addiction in a number of ways, and numerous studies have shown the benefit of engaging with a group and how the relationships you form can provide a source of strength when you struggle in the future.
