Orange County Detox & Rehab Center - Drug & Alcohol Addiction Treatment California

Group Therapy in Addiction Treatment

Connection. Growth. Recovery—Together.

At Oasis Treatment Centers, group therapy is a cornerstone of our comprehensive approach to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. Healing from addiction is not just an individual
journey—it’s also about building connection, sharing experiences, and learning from others.

In a supportive group setting, clients gain insight, develop recovery tools, and form bonds that help sustain long-term sobriety.

Why Group Therapy Matters in Recovery

Group therapy offers a safe space for clients to:

  • Share openly without judgment
  • Receive support and feedback from peers
  • Practice communication and relationship skills
  • Learn that they are not alone in their experiences
  • Build accountability and confidence in recovery

Backed by decades of clinical research, group therapy has been shown to reduce feelings of isolation, increase motivation, and promote emotional healing in addiction treatment.

Types of Group Therapy Offered at Oasis

We offer a wide range of specialized groups tailored to meet the clinical and emotional needs of our clients across all levels of care.

These include:

12-Step Integration Groups

Clients are introduced to the principles of 12-Step programs such as AA and NA, and guided
through step work in a structured group format. Emphasis is placed on spiritual growth, personal
accountability, and connection with others in recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Groups

These groups help clients identify negative thought patterns and behaviors that fuel substance
use. Clients learn practical tools to challenge distorted thinking, manage triggers, and prevent
relapse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Groups

Focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal
effectiveness. DBT groups are especially beneficial for clients with co-occurring mood disorders,
trauma, or difficulty managing emotions.

Art & Expressive Therapy Groups

Creative activities such as painting, drawing, music, and journaling provide alternative ways to
express emotions, reduce stress, and explore inner experiences—especially when words are
not enough.

Psychoeducational Groups

Led by licensed professionals, these groups offer vital education about addiction, mental health,
coping strategies, relapse prevention, and brain science. Knowledge becomes a powerful tool
for empowerment in recovery.

Goal Setting & Life Skills Groups

These groups help clients set realistic short- and long-term goals and develop essential life
skills for success after treatment—such as time management, job readiness, budgeting, and
communication.

Recovery Tools & Coping Skills Groups

Clients explore a variety of evidence-based techniques to manage cravings, regulate mood,
handle stress, and stay grounded throughout their recovery journey.

Process Groups

In process groups, clients share personal experiences and emotions while receiving support
and insight from peers. Facilitated by a therapist, these groups encourage vulnerability,
feedback, and emotional growth.

Experiential Therapy Groups

These dynamic sessions may include role-play, guided imagery, somatic activities, or
team-building exercises. Experiential therapy allows clients to safely engage with emotions and
experiences in real time—promoting deeper healing.

Healing Happens in Community

At Oasis Treatment Centers, group therapy provides more than just support—it fosters transformation. Surrounded by others who understand your struggles and share your goals, you’ll discover strength in community and build the emotional resilience needed for long-term recovery.
