Group Therapy : Group therapy involves working with a therapist and other individuals in recovery to share experiences, offer support, and learn from each other.
12-Step Programs : 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) involve working through a set of spiritual principles and attending meetings for support and guidance.
