Adult Substance Abuse Group Therapy

The David Lawrence Center adult substance abuse group therapy is designed for adults who are experiencing problems related to drug and alcohol use or whose lives have become unmanageable as a result of their substance use. The program includes structured psycho-educational group therapy that explores the biopsychosocial aspects of substance abuse and relapse prevention. Treatment focuses on the recognition of substances as a problem and utilizing the group process to assist the individual in breaking through denial, identifying problem areas and making changes. This flexible program is designed to provide treatment, education, support and structure to overcome chemical dependency while allowing clients to maintain personal schedules and employment. Clients in this program meet in the evenings and are subject to random drug and alcohol screens. Depending on the level of the individual’s substance abuse problem, the program is 7-16 weeks.

Individuals must meet certain clinical criteria to be entered into this substance abuse intervention program determined through a clinical assessment. These services are offered in Naples and Immokalee and can be court ordered.
