  1. www.wishoperecovery.com HOW GROUP THERAPY HELPS EMPLOYEES IN RECOVERY Group therapy is not just for clinical treatment centers — it’s a powerful recovery tool that employers can help facilitate.

  2. Introduction Workplace addiction is more common than many employers realize. Substance use issues can impact performance, morale, safety, and healthcare costs. But with the right support systems in place, recovery is possible — and often more sustainable when supported at work. One of the most effective, accessible, and affordable tools for supporting employees in recovery is group therapy. This guide explains how group therapy works, why it’s effective in workplace settings, and how employers can use it to support long-term recovery and employee wellbeing. NEXT PAGE

  3. What Is Group Therapy? Group therapy is a structured form of psychotherapy led by a licensed therapist or counselor where individuals facing similar challenges come together in a supportive environment. Sessions often focus on recovery goals, emotional regulation, communication, and relapse prevention. Group therapy can take many forms, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based groups Psychoeducational groups Relapse prevention groups Peer support and 12-step-aligned groups

  4. Why Group Therapy Works for Employees? Group therapy offers unique benefits in the workplace context, such as: ✅ Peer Accountability: Employees are more likely to stay committed to recovery when they feel seen, heard, and supported by others with similar experiences. ✅ Safe and Non-Judgmental Space: Therapeutic groups provide a place where employees can share without fear of workplace stigma or isolation. ✅ Improved Coping and Communication: Through facilitated discussion, employees learn how to manage stress, set boundaries, and regulate emotions — all crucial for maintaining job performance and sobriety. ✅ Reduced Risk of Relapse: Ongoing support increases resilience during high-stress periods or after returning from treatment. ✅ Fosters a Culture of Compassion: By acknowledging mental health and recovery as workplace priorities, organizations reduce stigma and support retention.

  5. How Employers Can Implement Group Therapy Support Employers don’t have to run groups directly, but they can create access and foster participation through: Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs): Partner with local providers to offer or refer employees to group sessions for mental health. On-Site or Virtual Support Groups: Collaborate with licensed facilitators to hold weekly groups. Flexible Scheduling: Allow time off or schedule accommodations for therapy participation. Confidentiality Policies: Ensure employees know their participation will remain private. Supervisor Training: Teach managers how to support staff in recovery without discrimination.

  6. Conclusion Group therapy is not just for clinical treatment centers — it’s a powerful recovery tool that employers can help facilitate. By supporting group-based recovery, companies create stronger, healthier workplaces and help employees reclaim both their personal and professional lives.
