Relapse Prevention Group Therapy

The process of recovering from drugs and alcohol begins with your decision to seek treatment so that you can learn how to manage the underlying causes of your addiction. At first, it is normal to only think about how to make it from one moment to the next when you are still in the early stages of healing physically and emotionally. However, you will eventually discover that each moment gets a little easier until you feel ready to begin thinking about the future.

Dealing with addiction is a lifelong process that involves implementing strategies that help you avoid relapse. For this reason, you will find that attending relapse group therapy provides a wealth of benefits that you will use both in and out of your treatment program as you learn how to live a fulfilling life without the use of drugs or alcohol.

Learn From the Experiences of Others

One of the biggest benefits of entering a treatment program is realizing that you are not alone in your desire to get sober. In fact, you will find that your sober living facility is filled with people who are all in varying stages of learning how to live a life that is free from the negative effects of addiction. In your group therapy sessions, you can learn from others as they share their experiences with battling cravings outside of the treatment center. As you feel stronger, you will also be able to share your experiences with newcomers so that everyone gains new knowledge from each other.

Feel Comfortable Talking About Challenges

Before you entered treatment, you may have found it hard to find others who understand what you are going through. For instance, you might have felt the need to hide the bad things about addiction from your sober friends and relatives who could not grasp why you couldn’t just stop using drugs. Alternatively, you may have found that the circle of people you did drugs with actually hindered your attempts at getting sober. In group therapy for drug addiction, you will find that everyone is on the same page. Your peers know exactly what you mean when you talk about things such as triggers, and they all recognize the importance of showing support for someone who is working through challenges on the road to sobriety.

Benefit From a Structured Environment

The earliest stages of recovery are a time when you are most vulnerable to relapse. One of the benefits of group therapy is simply having somewhere to be each day so that you are not tempted to use drugs or alcohol. The relationships that you form with your therapist and peer group also help you to stay accountable for your actions. Depending upon your stage of recovery, your group therapy may also include strategies such as random testing to provide you with additional motivation to stay sober.

Identify Potential Triggers

A trigger may vary from one person to another, and it is important to identify yours so that you can take steps to address them before you relapse. For instance, you may find that walking past a bar is all it takes to initiate the strong desire to just go inside for one drink. In this case, you would want to find a route to work that does not require you to pass a bar until you feel strong enough to overcome the craving. In group therapy, you will learn more about the triggers that drive your desire to abuse drugs or alcohol so that you are less likely to relapse.

Find Positive Ways to Address Cravings

Group therapy also helps prevent relapse by giving you a place to share your secrets to success with others. As you do, gaining recognition for your achievements gives you positive feelings to associate with sobriety. Your new sober friends are also excellent resources for finding ways to battle cravings. Whether you burn off a craving at the gym or peacefully paint your way to a calmer state of mind, discovering new hobbies gives you a way to cope with cravings once you graduate from the treatment program.

When you are in the throes of addiction, it is normal to feel alone. Yet, reaching out to others gives you an instant network of support that makes it possible to move from the early withdrawal stages to the final phase involving relapse prevention. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, reach out to a counselor today to find out how group therapy helps throughout each stage of ending drug and alcohol dependency.
