SUBSTANCE ABUSE GROUP THERAPY IN MIAMI
G roup therapy can provide the support and perspective needed to truly recover from a sub- stance use disorder. The History of Group Therapy The origins of group therapy can be traced back to the early 1900’s as a therapeutic intervention treating chronic illnesses like Tuberculosis. It was found helpful for these patients in gaining emo- tional support and expressing their common feelings. Later, physician and psychoanalyst Wilfred Bion following WWII found while working with traumatized soldiers, the importance and benefits of groups and sharing similar experiences. Around the same time, Kurt Lewin PhD. Established the Research Center for Group Dynamics. Lewin’s work set the fundamental ideas of today’s behav- ioral group therapy, which are: groups come into being in a psychological sense ‘not because their members necessarily are similar to one another (although they may be); rather, a group exists when people in it realize their fate depends on the fate of the group as a whole. If the group’s task is such that members of the group are dependent on each other for achievement, then a powerful dynamic is created. Finally, Irvin Yalom MD professor of psychiatry at Stanford University’s School of Medicine went on to write what is considered the “Bible” of Group Therapy, The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy. Yalom identified eleven specific factors that lead to significant changes and shifts

in group members. These healing change factors are: Instillation of hope, Universality, Imparting Information, Altruism, Corrective Recapitula- tion, Socializing Techniques, Imitative Behavior, Interpersonal Learning, Group Cohesiveness, Catharsis and Existential Factors. Evidence-Based Treatment South Miami Recovery utilizes proven “best practices” employing substance abuse group therapy sessions which are facilitated by a pro- fessional therapist. A trained therapist directs the group and helps each participant to discover hidden aspects of themselves. The benefit of par- ticipating in substance abuse group therapy is that you realize you are not alone – there are oth- er people in similar situations, even though the circumstances which led them there may differ. Relating to others with similar issues and expe- riences provides new insight into self-defeating behaviors. This is the benefit of substance abuse group therapy. Everybody shares their own ex- perience, and you can gain a lot of insight from hearing what others have been through. What to Expect in Our Sessions At South Miami Recovery, our therapists use a blend of proven approaches to facilitate each
group session. Groups may take many forms, including:
•
Skills-Based Groups: teach the life skills necessary to live in sobriety. Educational Groups: provide helpful infor- mation about the disease of addiction. Cognitive-Behavioral Groups: use ther- apeutic methods to change patterns of thinking which lead to addiction. Support Groups: create a setting in which to hear others' stories and share your own. Process Groups: enable clients to work through past situations and rethink their reactions.

Benefits of Group Therapy Even if you don’t necessarily agree or get along with everyone in your substance abuse group therapy sessions, there are valuable lessons to be learned from them which will play a large part in your recovery. The people you connect with during substance abuse group therapy can provide you with a new social circle – one com- prised of other people who are in treatment. You can provide each other with the support and friendship necessary during treatment, and those relationships may last long after.

A Path to Healing: Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment at South Miami Recovery
S outh Miami Recovery emerges offering a sanctuary of healing for individuals grappling with the complexities of dual diagnosis. The convergence of addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions presents a unique challenge—one that demands a specialized approach to treatment that addresses the interconnected nature of these disorders. At the core of our ethos lies a commitment to providing clinically sophisticated, integrated dual diagnosis treatment that caters to the holistic well-being of each individual who walks through our doors. Dual diagnosis, a term synonymous with the coexistence of addiction and mental health concerns, underscores the critical need for comprehensive care that transcends traditional treatment para- digms. The statistics speak volumes—according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a staggering 45% of individuals grappling with addiction also contend with a co-occurring mental health disorder. This prevalence highlights the imperative of a treatment model that acknowledges and synchronously addresses both facets of an individual's health and wellness journey. Commonly associated with addiction, certain mental health conditions serve as potential catalysts for substance misuse. It is not uncommon for individuals to turn to drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism to alleviate the symptoms of an underlying mental health disorder. In light of this intri- cate interplay, treating both addiction and mental illness concurrently is paramount. The creation of personalized, long-term recovery plans hinges on a profound understanding of each individual's unique symptomatology, ensuring that care is tailored to address the spectrum of challenges they face. The landscape of dual diagnosis is vast and multifaceted, encompassing a myriad of mental health conditions that frequently co-occur with addiction. From mood disorders like depression and anxi- ety to more complex conditions such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating disorders, OCD, and PTSD,

the intersection of mental health and addiction unveils a tapestry of challeng- es that require a nuanced and individu- alized treatment approach. Individuals diagnosed with a mental health disorder are almost twice as like- ly to experience a substance use disor- der compared to the general population.
