Benefits of group therapy in addiction recovery
Group therapy is a key part of substance use disorder recovery. The Recovery Center offers multiple levels of group-based care:

- Alumni groups: Provide long-term community and peer support
Will insurance cover group therapy costs?
Depending on the support you need and your coverage, Montage Health has options — many that are free to the community or covered by insurance. Coverage depends on your insurance plan. Most group sessions work like other therapy visits, so you’ll usually have a copay. If you’re not sure what your plan covers, our team will review your benefits and explain any costs upfront.
Mental health and wellness classes
Montage Health offers a wide-range of mental and emotional wellness classes — including support groups for anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression, skills‑based therapy groups such as DBT, MBCT, and mindfulness for rest and self‑care, plus specialized offerings like a resilience workshop for new parents, all designed to help build coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and connect with supportive community. Some classes run for a set number of weeks, while others are ongoing.
