Substance Abuse Treatment Group
Group therapy may benefit individuals by increasing communication, socialization, and supports, in addition to the education and skills taught by a licensed therapist. The AODA groups being provided by Jackson County Behavioral Health will be a closed group format. Once a group is formed no new members will be allowed during the 11 weeks of group sessions. Closed groups can foster trust, increase accountability, and may increase feelings of connection through a shared experience.
Sessions are organized to assist in the process of recovery through the following:
- Goal setting
- Psychoeducation
- Self-assessment
- Worksheets
- Relapse prevention planning
Group Schedule
- The group starts during the 2nd week in January, April, July, and October of every year. An intake appointment is required with the therapist before admission to the group.
- Group will meet at the Jackson County Department of Health and Human Services in the Behavioral Health Division.
- Group will run for 11 sessions, and clients must be dedicated to 80% of the sessions in order to complete treatment.
- Group will be held on Thursdays from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm. A detailed schedule will be provided during the intake session.
Clients may be put on a waiting list for the upcoming group as space is limited.
