Group Proposal: Effectiveness of Psycho-educational Group Therapy to Motivate Change

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.
