TIP 41: Substance Abuse Treatment: Group Therapy

The TIP 41 manual helps counselors improve their skills in leading group therapy sessions for substance use treatment. The guide discusses types of group therapy, confidentiality, client placement, group development, stages of treatment, how-to tips, training, and supervision (SAMHSA, 2005).

The Editor’s Note on TIP 41 contains updates to information such as technology, statistics, and federal regulations contained in TIP 41 that have occurred since it was originally published and may impact implementation of group therapy (SAMHSA, 2017).
