12-Step Programs
12-Step Programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), are fellowship groups where members share their experiences, strengths, and hopes with each other to solve their common problems and help others recover from addiction. The benefits include a structured recovery process, a sense of belonging, and peer support.
Therapy-Based Support Groups
Therapy-Based Support Groups, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) groups, focus on providing therapy in a group setting. These group therapies are led by a trained therapist and can help individuals understand the root cause of their addiction, learn coping strategies, and improve their behavior and thinking patterns. Benefits include professional guidance, structured therapy sessions, and the support of peers who are going through similar challenges.
Family Support Groups
Family Support Groups, such as Al-Anon for families of alcoholics, provide support for the family members of the individual struggling with addiction. These groups help families learn how to cope with the challenges of addiction, communicate effectively, and support their loved one's recovery journey. Benefits include improved family dynamics, education about addiction, and mutual support from other families.
Faith-Based Support Groups
Faith-Based Support Groups combine spiritual or religious practices with addiction recovery support. Examples include Celebrate Recovery or Jewish Addiction Community Support. Individuals can find strength and hope through their faith, spiritual guidance, and the support of a community with shared beliefs. Benefits include spiritual fulfillment, moral guidance, and a compassionate, non-judgmental environment for recovery.
