Group therapy is often utilized when treating substance abuse and addiction for a variety of reasons. Group therapy can provide a level of accountability not found in individual therapy. One form of accountability is the use of “sponsors,” a service that is typically not found in individual therapy. Therapy groups frequently include members who are at varying stages of recovery. This enables group members to interact with others in the therapy group who are struggling with similar issues. Those who are at later stages of recovery can see through the defenses (e.g., minimization, denial, and rationalization) that might be displayed by newer therapy group members. The relapse rates for substance abuse and addiction can be high, and, thus, the cost of treatment can be high. Group therapy provides a cost-effective treatment form by splitting the cost between multiple members.Bold only be answered

TRANSCRIPT [BEEP]
FEMALE SPEAKER: Thank you so much for taking some time to provide a peer
consultation to me. I’ve heard you speak at professional meetings, and I really
respect your opinions.
I wanted to get your take on a situation that has come up. In a nutshell, for the
last three months at my facility, I’ve been doing group therapy for substance
abuse in an intensive outpatient setting. I did a little bit of group work during my
training, but that was years ago, so I’m a little rusty. I feel like I’ve been managing
fairly well, but there is one group member who has been extremely challenging.
Specifically, he keeps asking me if I’ve ever used or had a problem. He turns the
focus away from himself, and onto me and my background. I smoked a little pot
while in college, and occasionally have a glass of wine with dinner, but that’s
about as extreme as I get. So, I see his point, but don’t want him to take over the
group. He’s right in that I don’t know what it’s like, so can I still be effective with
this population What should I say to him about my personal use How should I
handle this
