What is the theory behind this Chemical dependency group therapy worksheet?
Group therapy for substance use disorders is an effective way to treat this issue. Since humans are social beings, our views and motivation are inspired most of the time by the surroundings we spend time in. A substance use group can be beneficial because it allows the individual struggling with addiction to open up in front of people going through the same kinds of problems. Furthermore, the group members become each other’s support system with more empathy and deeper connection.
