Group Proposal: Effectiveness of Psycho-educational Group Therapy to Motivate Change
for Adolescence Substance Abuse
Rationale
Psycho-educational group therapy is important because it enhances interpersonal and life
skills among the group members. The effectiveness of psycho-educational group therapy for
substance abuse has been adapted and used in a group format. The primary goal is to reduce or
eliminate substance abuse among adolescents. Also, there is a need to address behaviors related
to substance use. The significance of group therapy is the crucial reason for the widespread
treatment modality. However, group therapy is seen as more cost-effective than individual
treatment due to professional delivery to the affected adolescent at once. Besides, the clinical
effectiveness rate between an individual and group therapy reflects more on cost-effectiveness.
