The "Advanced Group" is a long-term commitment to group therapy and is geared toward helping participants maintain their new-found healthy lifestyles. Phase III participants have graduated from Phase II and continue working in their small groups. Clients and partners continue in separate groups during this phase.

Phase III addresses the issues that define addiction, such as faulty core beliefs, trauma, and abuse. Once the addiction is being managed and the underlying issues have been addressed, healthy lifestyle changes are reinforced in order to keep the addiction from reappearing.

For couples in the program, this is the time to practice their new lifestyle and new way of relating to each other. In Phase III, they put into practice all of the identity and boundary training they have received during Phases I and II.

Cost for Phase III "Advanced Group" is $200 per month per person. Price includes materials and 6 hours of group therapy per month.
