Season 3, Episode 5: How Gibson Is Using AI to Reimagine Group Therapy in SUD Care

Group therapy is a cornerstone of SUD treatment. But anyone who's run a session of 16 to 20 people knows the real challenge doesn't end when the group does — it starts when the notes begin.At Gibson, a Missouri-based SUD provider, high-volume group care is part of daily life. One session can mean dozens of individual notes. Multiply that across a full week in a workforce-strained environment, and documentation stops being an inconvenience and starts being a crisis.Gibson didn't accept that as "just how it is." They leaned into innovation instead.Host Denny Morrison, PhD, sits down with Janice Ruesler, PhD, LPC — Director of Educational & Special Initiatives, Gibson Center for Behavioral Change, to talk about how their team is using AI to make group therapy more manageable, more scalable, and a lot less exhausting for the people doing the work.
