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.
