The Thriving Group is a therapy support group for folks who are stable in their sobriety but want therapeutic support in exploring “what’s next.” Over the course of 8 weeks, we explore topics related to maintaining long-term sobriety and mental wellness, such as navigating social situations while sober, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, physical health, and more. Each week, clients will have the opportunity to individually check in with the group to provide updates on their ongoing recovery and receive support.

We believe that family involvement is integral and necessary for the successful recovery of our clients. A person exists within a family and should be treated within the context of the family. To improve the quality of life as a family, it’s essential to involve the entire family in treatment through individual family therapy and multi-family groups.

Frequently, people use drugs and alcohol to address the effects of traumatic experiences, stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, peer relationship issues - or to simply just feel good. While substance abuse treatment often primarily focuses on trigger identification and refusal skills, the underlying emotional and social drives to use are minimally addressed and so remain. Consequently, relapse rates remain notoriously high. I have run substance abuse groups at Second Genesis and understand the critical need to develop emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These two separate peer groups address the underlying drives that create continued dangers for relapse.

Alcohol Use Support Groups
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
