of a loved one. Issues that are typically addressed in counseling are:

- Anger Management
- Relapse Prevention
- Recovery from Relapse
- Gender Specific Issues
- Aftercare
- Nicotine Addiction
Counseling Groups at East Coast Recovery Services is a process where a small number of people meet together with a professional counselor (facilitator) to discuss specific issues. A great benefit to Group Counseling participants is that they are able to relate to others who have shared similar feelings, behaviors and situations. Groups provide validation and support for participants who otherwise might feel alone with their addiction struggles. As the group progresses, familiarity develops into friendships that often prove to be lifesavers, particularly in the event that the compulsion to drink or use drugs arises again in a sufferer's life.
