Group Counseling

What is group counseling?

Group counseling is a form of therapy that gives you an opportunity to meet with individuals having similar struggles and experiences as you. Victory Recovery Partners includes group counseling as part of its comprehensive addiction recovery program.

The center offers many specialized groups to meet a wide range of needs, including:

• Women’s groups
• Men’s groups
• Early recovery group
• Relapse prevention group
• Intensive outpatient services
• Dual diagnosis 
• Support groups
  
  

Your provider customizes your treatment plan to meet your individual needs, including your group counseling. Victory Recovery Partners offers a highly flexible schedule for group counseling, including evening sessions, making it easier for you to get the support you need. 

How does group counseling work?

One of the highly trained behavioral health counselors at Victory Recovery Partners leads each group counseling session. These sessions are about an hour long and have no more than 10-12 participants.

Group counseling at Victory Recovery Partners works by giving you an opportunity to learn new coping techniques and gain hope and strength from your peers. It also gives you a chance to practice your communication skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Victory Recovery Partners finds group counseling helps reinforce one of the most important messages of addiction treatment: regardless of the outcome of your treatment, you aren’t alone in your addiction experience. 

At Victory Recovery Partners, you meet with people just like you who are facing the same struggles with a substance use disorder.

Group counseling may also include your family or significant others. From time to time, your individual counseling therapist may attend your group sessions.

What are the benefits of group counseling?

Group counseling at Victory Recovery Partners offers many benefits and is an important component of your recovery. Group counseling takes advantage of your natural need to relate to others. 

Humans, in general, are social creatures. During times of stress, you may seek out other people who can relate to how you’re feeling. 

Because addiction often destroys personal relationships, group counseling allows you to develop new relational skills and build trust in others. Group counseling helps you to learn how to talk and listen effectively and set healthy boundaries with others.
