Evidence-based group therapy sessions led by licensed clinicians. Process groups, psychoeducation, relapse prevention, and peer support in a safe, confidential environment.
Groups available as part of PHP, IOP, and outpatient programs. Vital Health accepts Ohio Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial plans. Coverage depends on the specific plan and service. Verify insurance before services begin.
Addiction and mental health challenges thrive in isolation. Group therapy breaks that isolation by connecting you with others who truly understand what you are going through. When you hear someone else describe the exact feelings you have been struggling with alone, something powerful happens — you realize you are not broken, you are not alone, and recovery is possible.
At Vital Health, our groups are led by licensed clinicians (LISW, LPCC, LICDC) who create a safe, structured environment for healing. Groups are small (6-12 participants) to ensure everyone has space to be heard. Strict confidentiality rules protect everything shared in the room.
Research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that group therapy is as effective as individual therapy for substance use disorders — and in many cases, the peer accountability and social learning that groups provide leads to better long-term outcomes.

Group therapy is a cornerstone of addiction treatment at Vital Health. Unlike individual therapy, which focuses on personal history and one-on-one processing, group therapy provides something uniquely powerful: the experience of being understood by others who share your struggle. In our groups, clients discover they are not alone, learn from the experiences of peers at different stages of recovery, and develop the interpersonal skills essential for maintaining sobriety in the real world.
Our group therapy program in Maumee and Toledo, Ohio includes process groups (where members share openly and provide mutual support), psychoeducational groups (teaching coping skills, relapse prevention, and emotional regulation), CBT-based groups (applying cognitive behavioral techniques to addiction and mental health), and specialized groups for trauma survivors, women in recovery, and individuals with co-occurring disorders. Groups are facilitated by licensed therapists (LISW, LPCC, LICDC) who create a safe, structured, and confidential environment.
Group therapy is integrated into our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and standard outpatient services. PHP clients attend multiple groups daily as part of their 5-6 hour structured program. IOP clients participate in group sessions 3-4 days per week with flexible morning and evening scheduling options for working adults. Vital Health accepts Ohio Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial plans. Coverage depends on the specific plan and service. Verify insurance before services begin.
If you are considering treatment and wondering whether group therapy is right for you, know that most people feel nervous before their first group. That is completely normal. Our clinicians will help you ease in at your own pace. Call (419) 740-3022 to learn more about our current group schedule and availability.
You do not have to face addiction or mental health challenges alone. Our groups meet multiple times per week as part of PHP, IOP, and outpatient programs.
