At Granite Recovery Centers, we have proven solutions to help you with a range of struggles. From losing someone to battling a past trauma, our group therapy options can help ease that pain.
Group therapy is a type of behavioral health service where you meet regularly with others who are dealing with similar issues. During sessions, a trained professional guides the conversation. You’ll share your story, listen to others, and pick up skills to handle challenges better.
Counseling usually tackles specific problems, like how to handle a tough situation at work. Therapy often digs deeper into patterns that keep occurring, such as using drugs as a stress reliever. We use both approaches because different people need unique methods to heal. Our evidence-based practice model blends the R.E.S.T. program with proven techniques to ensure holistic growth.
Some days, you might need individual therapy with a counselor who focuses just on you. But group sessions offer something different: the chance to learn from other people’s experiences and get feedback. Since untreated grief and trauma can affect all areas of life and make functioning difficult, it’s most effective to use a blend of both.
Both types bring people together, but they’re not exactly the same. Support groups are usually run by people who’ve been through the same struggles themselves, like 12-Step programs. Group therapy is led by professionals with specific training. Our addiction support groups and group counseling work together as part of overall treatments.
There are various reasons why therapy with others works:
When life throws you challenges, whether it’s losing someone you love or going through another trauma, groups give you space to be honest. Mental struggles from loss can be overwhelming without proper guidance. Group therapy helps you see that your mental health struggles don’t have to be isolating. It provides space to safely sift through difficult mental hurdles and learn coping skills.
Our group counseling talks about real-life aspects of addiction, like triggers, relapse prevention, and how to fix damaged relationships. Our drug and alcohol counseling helps you build connections with people who understand this. For those with co-occurring conditions, we also provide dual diagnosis treatment that addresses both mental health and addiction at once.
Our treatment programs include different approaches:
Helps you spot and change those thought patterns that keep tripping you up
Great for learning how to handle intense emotions without being overwhelmed
Gets at those old wounds that might be fueling your addiction
Because we all need better ways to deal with anger than what we’ve been doing
Helps you move past the pain and discomfort of loss
Teaches you to stay in the present moment instead of getting stuck in your head
Covers the practical stuff you need to know how to handle everyday life
Looks at the whole picture, not just your symptoms
At first, talking to strangers about personal struggles might feel strange, which is normal. We usually meet weekly, but the duration and frequency will depend on your needs. We’ll start with a quick check-in to see how everyone’s doing. After everyone is more comfortable, we dive into activities or talk about mental health and addiction group therapy topics.
You’re never forced to share more than you’re ready to. Everyone is encouraged to be respectful, and any information shared is confidential. During your time with us, you might role-play tough situations, learn new skills, or try exercises that help you heal. Our therapy approaches change based on what the group needs that day.
At Granite, we treat addiction and mental health issues through structured care and approaches. Recovery happens at different speeds for everyone, but our support can promote joy again, even if the pain isn’t completely forgotten. We use a range of holistic therapies at various levels of care, ensuring your treatment is tailored. Reach out to start your or your loved one’s recovery through our effective group therapies.
You’ll sit with a small number of others also in recovery and a trained leader. During each session, you’re encouraged to share experiences and learn from one another.
For many issues, it works just as well. Sometimes, it’s even better because you gain extra useful insight from others in recovery.
It’s cheaper than one-on-one sessions. However, your exact cost depends on your insurance and which program you need.
Usually, yes, especially for addiction treatment. We can check what your plan covers and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
Absolutely, if you’re joining our IOP program. If you can’t make it in person, you can securely participate virtually from home with the same intensive support as in person.
