Skill-Based Learning
In each session, you’ll learn practical techniques to identify and manage negative thought patterns that lead to destructive behavior. These skills are designed to help you manage cravings, avoid relapse, and navigate stressful situations.
Supportive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Groups Environment
We create this safe space where you can connect with other men who understand the struggles and challenges of recovery. Together, you’ll learn from one another and gain insights that only a supportive community can provide.
Clear Focus on Long-Term Interpersonal Change
Our approach also empowers you to use what you learn in group sessions beyond recovery. The skills you gain are adaptable to various aspects of life, helping you foster healthy relationships, manage stress, and set meaningful goals.

Benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy for Substance Abuse
Group cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most effective approaches for treating substance abuse. By learning to identify negative thought patterns and replace them with positive, constructive ones, you’ll gain skills that extend far beyond the recovery process.
Relapse Prevention
Group CBT is all about giving you the tools to spot and handle triggers that might lead to substance use. This helps you build resilience against setbacks and guides you in creating your own personalized relapse prevention plan.
With a trained therapist and supportive peers by your side, you’ll have discussions that strengthen your commitment to sobriety and boost accountability, making it easier to tackle tough situations down the road.
Healthy Coping Mechanisms
In group sessions, we’ll dive into techniques like mindfulness, scheduling, and rational behavior skills that you can actually use in your everyday life. Hence, by practicing these strategies together in a supportive environment, you’ll feel more confident managing stress without turning to substances. Plus, this can also help you build healthier relationships and develop a more positive outlook on life!
Tools for Lasting Recovery
What you learn in our cognitive behavioral therapy in groups is designed to be applied to various aspects of your life, empowering you with lifelong tools for well-being. The techniques and insights you gain from these sessions can help you build a strong foundation for a substance-free lifestyle.
The beauty of our cognitive behavioral groups is that while teaching men skills to effectively deal with their current problems, they will also be learning how to apply these same skills to anything else that might come their way for the rest of their lives!

How We Conduct Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy for Substance Abuse
Personalized Assessment
Every resident starts with an Intake Assessment given by a Certified Cognitive Therapist. This first step helps us get to know your unique challenges and cognitive capabilities to ensure that the therapy can be as effective as possible.
Instructional and Skill-Based Sessions
In the sessions, our therapist will introduce you to some key self-counseling techniques. These techniques are the core of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy and include exercises for rational thinking, emotional regulation strategies, and problem-solving skills. We want to make sure you leave each session with practical tools you can use right away!
Addressing Different Types of Problems
You'll also learn how to differentiate between practical issues, emotional challenges, and cognitive distortions. This way, you can tackle each problem with the best strategies, making it easier to break free from negative thinking and behaviors.
For men who want to "get things off their chest" the instructional nature of the groups might seem a little disconcerting. However, the instructive approach helps ensure that men will feel the way they want to feel and achieve goals as quickly and as effectively as possible.
