Online Group Therapy

Promoting growth, connection, and recovery through shared support.

Online Group Therapy for Addiction Recovery

Addiction recovery can sometimes feel isolating, as if no one truly understands the challenges you face. But you don’t have to go through it alone. At FirePit Health, our online group therapy sessions create a safe and supportive environment where people in recovery can connect, share, and grow together.

Led by licensed clinicians, group therapy combines professional guidance with peer connection. Each session gives you the chance to process struggles, celebrate progress, and learn from others who are walking a similar path. By fostering understanding and mutual encouragement, group therapy helps you build resilience and feel less alone in your journey.

How Group Therapy for Addiction Works

Group therapy at FirePit Health is delivered entirely online, making it easy to join from the privacy of your home. Sessions are structured by a licensed therapist who guides the discussion while maintaining a respectful and confidential space.

What you can expect in a typical group session:

  • Guided conversations: Topics may include coping with cravings, rebuilding relationships, managing emotions, or setting realistic goals.
  • Opportunities to share: You’ll have the chance to talk about your own story if you feel comfortable, though sharing is never required.
  • Peer support: Listen to and learn from others who truly understand what it means to live with and recover from addiction.
  • Practical tools: Take away strategies you can apply between sessions to strengthen your recovery.

Some people come to group therapy ready to share openly, while others prefer to listen at first. Both approaches are welcome. What matters most is being part of a community where every voice, spoken or silent, has value. For many, group therapy also complements one-on-one support such as individual therapy, creating a more well-rounded care plan.

Why Join Group Therapy for Addiction Treatment?

Recovery is about more than managing symptoms—it’s about building connection, accountability, and emotional growth. Group therapy provides unique benefits that can’t always be found in individual sessions.

  • Shared support: Connect with people who understand what you’re going through, and know you’re not alone.
  • New perspectives: Gain insights from others’ experiences, which may help you see your own challenges differently.
  • Accountability: Regular group check-ins provide gentle motivation to stay on track with your recovery goals.
  • Emotional growth: Practice communication, self-awareness, and empathy in a safe environment.

Group therapy works best as part of a larger recovery plan. Many people pair it with medication support, such as Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), or with family-based care. Our online family counseling program is often a powerful complement, helping loved ones heal alongside you.

What If I’m Still Using or Just Starting Recovery?

That’s okay. You don’t need to reach a certain level of sobriety to participate in online group therapy. In fact, for many people, showing up to their first group session while still using is the very first step toward recovery. Simply being present is progress.

Our groups are designed to be inclusive and supportive, meeting you exactly where you are. Whether you’re still exploring what recovery might look like or you’ve been working on sobriety for some time, you’ll find encouragement and understanding here.

Is Online Group Therapy Effective?

Yes. Research shows that virtual group therapy can be just as effective as in-person groups for many people. The same benefits of connection, accountability, and shared growth are present, but without the barriers of commuting, stigma, or scheduling conflicts.

By joining from the privacy of home, you’re able to engage in meaningful group work while still protecting your confidentiality and comfort. For those managing co-occurring conditions such as depression, trauma, or anxiety, group therapy can also be combined with our broader online mental health treatment program for even more comprehensive care.

Common Questions About Online Group Therapy

Do I need to share during group therapy?

No—you don’t have to share until you feel ready. Many people start out by simply listening, and that’s perfectly okay. Over time, as trust builds, you may find yourself opening up more. The important part is showing up and engaging in the way that feels right for you.

What if I feel uncomfortable in groups?

It’s normal to feel hesitant about group therapy at first. Many participants worry about being judged or misunderstood, but most find that the supportive and respectful environment helps ease those fears. Our licensed therapists guide discussions to make sure everyone feels safe and heard.

How is confidentiality protected?

Confidentiality is a core part of group therapy. All participants agree to respect each other’s privacy, and sessions are led by trained clinicians who uphold professional ethical standards. You can feel confident that what you share stays within the group.

Can I attend group therapy if I’m also in individual therapy?

Yes—group therapy is an excellent complement to individual work. Individual sessions give you space to focus on personal challenges, while group therapy provides connection, accountability, and perspective. Many patients find the combination especially powerful.

Is group therapy covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes—FirePit Health accepts Medicaid and most major insurance plans. We’ll verify your coverage before you begin so you know exactly what to expect.
