Addiction is a complex issue. Unlike many illnesses, it can’t be treated once and considered “cured.” It requires complex treatment. In addition to detoxing the substances from the body, the mind needs to heal and grow. Different therapy models are used to address underlying issues, combat addict behaviors, and establish healthy habits.

Individual Therapy vs. Group Therapy
Recovery programs will use a combination of both individual and group therapy for each client. Both are crucial for successful recovery.

Individual Therapy
In addition to physical dependence, addiction creates an emotional dependence. Many of those emotional struggles can only be addressed one-on-one with a therapist.

Group Therapy
Group therapy gives recovering addicts the opportunity to practice honesty and express themselves to others. It also opens up the door to give and receive peer encouragement and support.
