Purpose
Phase I group sessions are designed to provide clients with relatively frequent, supportive contact with the counselor and other men and women in recovery; introduce clients to key concepts about addiction and the recovery process; help clients understand how they may set themselves up to relapse; and help clients develop strategies to reduce their relapse risk. The group program helps empower members to establish and maintain abstinence, develop a sense of personal responsibility for their recovery, develop supportive interpersonal relationships, and continue participating in a self-help program such as AA, NA, CA, or other support groups.

3. Review of curriculum and members responses to questions on handouts: The group counselor introduces the topic and objectives for the session and leads the group in a discussion of the topic. Group members are encouraged to share their experiences, and the group counselor attempts to highlight the connection between group members input and the identified topic. 4. Review of the plan for the upcoming week: The group counselor asks each member to briefly state what actions he or she plans to take in the upcoming week in his or her recovery from cocaine addiction. Group members can mention self-help meetings they plan to attend and other steps they will take in their recovery. This usually takes 5 to 15 minutes. 5. Reciting the Serenity Prayer: The group ends after members join hands and say the Serenity Prayer out loud. The Serenity Prayer states: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. After the prayer, the leader encourages all members to return for the group session next week.
