Group Therapy for Substance-Related Disorders

Group therapy is the most prevalent treatment method for substance-related disorders. Its widespread use is based on the idea that individuals are more likely to sustain sobriety within a group setting. This is attributed to the therapeutic benefits of the group, which include support, affiliation, identification, and constructive confrontation.
