Pathfinders

If you have a co-occurring mental health condition and an addiction, you’ll want to address both conditions at the same time, under the same roof. If you only address the mental health disorder, you’ll likely continue using drugs, which tends to make mental health issues even worse. On the other hand, if you only address the addiction, the symptoms of your mental health disorder will make it very hard to succeed in recovery.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
