Catalyst: How it Works
Treatment is customized to meet your individual, unique needs. Though the Catalyst schedule varies at each location, most provide the following components:
Process Group
Group counseling is a powerful and key component of Catalyst. These sessions will help you:
- Integrate the spiritual, emotional and relational aspects of your life.
- Discover where you are right now and set realistic goals for where you would like to be.
- Learn how to establish healthy boundaries for yourself and with others.
- Gain insight through interaction with others in the group.
- Learn and develop effective communication and interrelationship skills.
- Share feelings and learn from other clients in a safe, controlled environment.
