In group counseling: 1. All members uphold strict confidentiality and anonymity as outlined in the traditions of organizations like AA. 2. The counselor ensures no verbal or physical abuse and the primary purpose is to help others recover from addiction. 3. Groups are free to attend and comprised of members with similar experiences of addiction who support each other's sobriety without judgment.

Anonymity In group counseling, all of the members uphold confidentiality. For example A.A.'s rules on anonymity are “A.A. Never disclose their association with the movement of print, on air, or through any other public media, and no one has the right to break the anonymity of anther member” (A.A. 2010) Step one of the twelve traditions is “our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon unity.” (OCAA 2008)
Safety The group counselor will ensure that there is no “verbal, or physical abuse” (Argosy 2010) A.A and N.A is a “fellowship of men and women who share their experience strength and hopes with each other that they may solve their common problem and help other to recovery” (OCAA 2008) Number five of the twelve traditions “each group has but one primary purpose- to carry its message to addicts who still suffer” (OCAA 2008) The people in these groups have similar experience as yours, they will not judge you, because everyone's sobriety in the group depends on it.
Payment A great thing about A.A. And N.A they are completely free. “NA is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We ... meet regularly to help each other stay clean. ... We are not interested in what or how much you used ... but only in what you want to do about your problem and how we can help." Narcotics Anonymous 2010

Here are the benefits of group counseling. Seeing others sobriety, will give you hope in your sobriety. 2. you will find a role model, and learn by imitating them. 3. you can get great advice from people who suffer from addiction, such as how to deal with cravings. 4. you will be a member of a group, this will help you resolve issues from your pass with the group and counselor.
