Group Therapy Chicago

What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy consists of a small number of group members who are going through a similar experience in a safe environment. These therapy groups are led by a trained group leader who is there to support groups while working on unique challenges, interpersonal relationships, skill building, and, overall, healthier lives. During this interpersonal process, individuals struggling with substance abuse or mental health challenges have the opportunity to share personal experiences as well as listen to others in the therapy group who may have similar issues and similar experiences.

It is normal to feel nervous during the first few group therapy sessions, but over time most people begin to feel comfortable opening up about themselves as they experience the benefit of hearing other clients with similar struggles and concerns. Of course, sharing amongst a particular group is always by choice, and individuals are only encouraged to attend and contribute to the group conversation when they feel comfortable.

Through group therapy, individuals can learn new things about themselves, gain insight into their relationships in life, experience the benefits of mutual support, and address feelings of anxiety and isolation. By sharing specific issues with the group to which many others can relate, clients often feel a sense of peace and connection among their support group.

At Chicago Rehab Center, we understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to substance abuse programs and recovery. By utilizing evidence-based clinical programming, we’ve designed programs like group therapy in Chicago that are tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, and desires throughout their recovery process.
