When guided effectively, group therapy can foster connection, accountability, hope, and lasting behavioral change.
In this course, you will explore the foundations of group therapy in substance use disorder treatment, including group models, client placement, group leadership, and stage-specific interventions. Whether you are new to facilitating groups or looking to strengthen your counseling skills, this course will provide practical strategies to help you create safe, effective, and recovery-focused group experiences.
