Group therapy in recovery isn’t always easy. It can be difficult sometimes to break the ice and encourage open discussion within a group, particularly if it’s new. For many, games can help a group overcome that initial awkwardness. When you provide a space where adults in treatment can be themselves and talk freely without judgment, you’re giving them an invaluable tool for recovery. The ability to put names on the feelings and share those feelings with others in the same situation is powerful. Games for recovery groups are extremely helpful in substance abuse treatment for that reason.
At Oceanfront Recovery, we believe that the road to sobriety looks a little bit different for everyone. Our job is to make sure that your treatment plan is customized to your individual needs, and group therapy is something that helps people from all walks of life. Making connections is an essential part of recovery, and social skills can be built without the crutch of substance abuse.
