Benefits of Group Therapy for Drug & alcohol
Probably the biggest advantage of group therapy for Drug & alcohol issues is in helping
a patient realize that he is not alone -- that there are other people who have
similar problems. This is often a revelation, and a huge relief, to the person.
Being in group therapy can also help you develop new skills to relate to others. The
dynamics of a group often mirror those of society in general, and learning how to
interact with the other members of the group can help you in your relationships outside
the group. In addition, the members of the group who have the same problem(s) can
support each other, and may offer suggestions to dealing with a particular problem 
that you may not have thought of.
You may be uncomfortable at first when it comes time to discuss your problems in front
of strangers. However, the fact that others are facing the same type of situation as you
may help you open up and discuss your feelings. In addition, everything that takes
place within the group therapy session is kept confidential.
What to Expect in Group Therapy
Group therapy sessions vary, but the basic format is a small group of patients (3-5
people) meet on a regular basis to discuss their feelings and problems and provide
mutual support. The session is guided by a professional therapist who is specially
trained in group therapy. The therapist acts as moderator and may suggest a "theme"
or topic for the group's discussion. Sometimes, the therapist will allow the group
members to pick the topic for the session.
As part of the group therapy session, members try to change their old ways of
behaving in favor of newer, more productive ways. Typically, there is a great deal of
interaction and discussion among the members of the group. The members may also
undertake specific activities, such as addressing certain fears and anxieties.
