Phase III: The Advanced Group

The Advanced Group is a long-term commitment to group therapy and is geared toward helping participants maintain their new-found healthy lifestyles. Phase III participants have graduated from Phase II and continue to work in their separate small groups. Clients and partners continue to be in separate groups in this phase.

Phase III addresses the issues that underlined the addiction in the first place, such as faulty core beliefs, trauma, and abuse. Once the addiction has been stopped and the underlying issues have been addressed, healthy lifestyle changes are reinforced in order to keep the addiction from reappearing.

For couples in the program, this is the time to practice their new lifestyle and new way of relating to each other. In Phase III, they put into practice all of the identity and boundary training they have received throughout the first two phases.

Cost for Phase III "Advanced Group" is $180 per month per person. Price includes materials and 6 hours of group therapy per month.
