At MPower Wellness, our addiction treatment programs in Philadelphia offer group sessions meticulously engineered to provide solutions for individual issues as a unit. An in-depth look at what exactly group therapy is and how it works will establish a sense of confidence in recovery you never thought possible.
There is perhaps no therapy more efficient than group therapy for addiction. Addiction often requires a group of like-minded people striving together to achieve the shared goal of sobriety. Group therapy provides all those tools you need to conquer your addiction and continue to thrive in sobriety. You’ll find all that and more with MPower Wellness treatment. Bearing that in mind, here is an in-depth look at group therapy and how it can change your life.
What Is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is strength in numbers. It brings together like-minded people, making the collective goal of sobriety easier to attain as a unit by openly communicating your struggles. It takes teamwork to achieve sobriety and group therapy is exactly that. Speaking openly about the problem with people who understand your condition may be all the confidence you need to get over the hurdles of your addiction. But group therapy for addiction goes beyond simply talking. It’s about having a caring physician who listens to your struggles and helps you find solutions.
That’s why sessions are conducted by a sympathetic specialist with the sole purpose of giving the group the tools they need to thrive in recovery. These sessions are intended to provide you with the reassurance that you’re not alone in your struggles. More importantly, they are specifically geared to show you your goals of sobriety can be achieved. Make your sobriety a reality today by reaching out to our team of dedicated therapy specialists.
What Can You Expect From Group Therapy At MPower Wellness?
MPower Wellness physicians strive to maintain a high standard in their therapy sessions by continually seeking solutions to your struggle. This is achieved by a doctor providing medically-supported instructions and guidance in attentive response to each individual’s story. Doing so allows you to share common goals, solutions, and stories on your respective roads to sobriety. Bearing That in mind, here are some features you can expect from group therapy for addiction at MPower wellness.
A strong support group is an intricate piece to any successful recovery. Without a strong support group, it’s easy to become discouraged, often worsening addictions in the long run. That’s the sole reason MPower Wellness aims to unify a family-like bond in all group sessions.
Your doctor helps the group accomplish this simply by getting each individual to acquaint themselves closely and openly with one another. This develops a level of trust that is the basis of bonds in any relationship. This is why all participants are strongly encouraged to open up to their recovery family. In due time, this will turn your group therapy sessions into a strong supportive family unit that is a vital anchor in achieving sobriety.
One of the most important traits of developing the bonds suggest in the prior point, is accepting people for who they are. That’s precisely the mentality you’ll find in all of our judgment-free sessions. You will never be judged regardless of what you struggle with or the degree of your addiction. This is why people find themselves to be so comfortable sharing their struggles in all of our therapy sessions. Find out how comfortable you can be by choosing from a variety of our group therapy options today.
We all need some form of accountability, whether it be at work, in life, or in group therapy for addiction. Accountability is a large part of what any addiction therapy is about. As your group bond grows stronger, you grow stronger as a person, becoming accountable to both others and yourself. This accountability is formed through having accountability partners or individual physician follow-ups that help you track the progress of your goals. Each session provides the session with group goals that your doctor and/or accountability partner can help track together.
It’s vital to reiterate, you will never be judged for your progress or lack thereof. MPower wellness understands everybody grows at a different pace and in different ways and so do your friends in group therapy. Nobody is there to judge you, but to cheer you on with each little step you take toward sobriety.
The primary task and desire of MPower Wellness physicians are to listen. Listening to your story and substance struggles is what helps your therapist chart the course of future group and individual sessions. That’s why our dedicated professionals caringly cling to your every word. They’re there to listen to you on a level that other treatment centers do not. That’s just one of the many reasons, group therapy meetings at MPower Wellness are more than just group sessions. They’re a vital asset to your needs.
What Are The Benefits Of Group Therapy?
There are numerous life-changing benefits from group therapy. Many of these benefits come with how they complement your individual rehab treatment. That’s why it’s important to understand that group therapy is not a standalone treatment. These meetings should always be attended in conjunction with another medically-aided sobriety program. Group sessions are among the greatest tools for overall recovery when used in correlation with other treatments. Here are a couple of factors in which group therapy can be used effectively to achieve sobriety.
Group meetings can lead you down an enlightening road to self-discovery that helps doctors determine your most effective individual approach to achieving sobriety. Your doctor can use your behaviors, interactions, and vocalized struggles in group sessions to get the most out of your individual treatment. Therefore, group sessions could be just the insight your doctors need to make a recovery breakthrough.
Vocally opening up in group therapy for addiction can lift an immense burden that was impossible before therapy. Speaking openly about your struggles with relatable individuals is among the most therapeutic methods for confident and successful rehabilitation. Each word you speak in group sessions can take more and more of the burden off your shoulders and breathe new life into your assurance of a sober future.
Battling addiction on your own puts you in a lonely place of hopelessness. Group therapy for addiction is known to reinforce confidence and drive away loneliness. That’s why it’s so vital to surround yourself with those who care about your sobriety. Your bonds in group therapy for addiction are the most important friendships you could have to achieve your recovery goals.
At MPower Wellness, you’ll find the support group and friendships you’ve always wanted to help drive your recovery forward. It takes a team to achieve anything in life. You can find the right recovery team to help get your life on track at MPower Wellness.
One of the main reasons group therapy and one-on-one treatment go hand-in-hand is because of how it complements individual treatment. All the lessons learned in group treatment often strengthen your personal sessions with your physician. You’ll find out how much your one-on-one treatment will thrive after you enroll in group therapy.
Pouring your heart out in group therapy is one of the most important first steps in confronting the problem face-to-face. You cannot move forward without first acknowledging the issues at hand. This is the most important and most often the hardest step to make. Yet, doing so unlocks several important coinciding steps to your recovery. Once the issue is acknowledged, you can proceed to rectify the issue with the guidance of a caring physician. Speak to a treatment assessment specialist today to find the treatment that’s right for you.
