What are the advantages of group psychotherapy for recovery from addiction?
Group psychotherapy can reduce the stigma of addiction, particularly the stigma of MAT within some parts of the Twelve Step community. It can also reduce the isolation of the patient and increase the psychosocial support using both the resources of the therapist and fellow group members. This support can orient group members to the mechanisms of mutual support that promote recovery. This all improves the cost-effectiveness of treatment.
