Overcoming substance use challenges is not something you have to do alone. At Improving Lives CMHC, we believe in the power of shared experience—and we’ve seen firsthand how group therapy can help people connect, heal, and grow.
Our Substance Abuse Group Therapy is designed for individuals seeking support in their recovery journey. Led by licensed, bilingual professionals, these structured sessions offer a space for clients to share experiences, learn from others, and build the skills needed for long-term sobriety.
We provide group therapy in English and Spanish, creating inclusive, supportive spaces for individuals facing chemical dependency. Whether you’re just beginning your recovery or continuing post-treatment support, group therapy can be a decisive next step.
Group therapy for substance abuse brings together individuals who are navigating similar challenges with chemical dependency. Unlike individual counseling, group therapy allows participants to gain perspective and encouragement from peers—while still receiving clinical guidance from a trained facilitator.
Each session includes structured discussions, skills training, and emotional processing grounded in evidence-based therapeutic models.
