Music Therapy Program

Creating, singing, listening and even moving to music gives you great benefit in addiction rehab. Music therapy improves communication and outlooks for people dealing with substance abuse, addiction and mental illness. It helps them gain addiction recovery and gives them new ways of dealing with addiction.

What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy uses music to achieve specific goals in recovery during and after rehab. You start using music during your inpatient rehab treatment. However, many methods that you learn in this type of therapy prove helpful after rehab, too.

Creative therapies like music and art therapy provide many benefits. Therapists use music to help you understand your physical, mental and social needs. You create, sing, move to or listen to music under the therapist’s guidance during this therapy. After several sessions, you understand how to apply some of your new skills in other areas of your life, so music continues to help you heal and grow.

Through music, you find new ways to communicate. This works very well when you struggle to open up in traditional talk therapy. Music helps you physically heal and strengthen, build motivation for sobriety, connect with others for emotional support and express your feelings.

Customized Treatment Plan

In rehab, you participate in a broad range of addiction treatment programs. Now, the focus shifts away from the physiological treatment to the psychological one. You need to make your mind realize that you can live just fine without the drugs. Therapists customize a treatment plan that might include:

How Music Helps You in Recovery

Music therapy helps people with mental health and addiction problems. Research and various clinical studies prove this. Even when you struggle in other types of therapy, music can help you work through your problems.

Music stimulates your senses, leading you to respond to it naturally. You feel more open to music in therapy because music is familiar, safe and predictable. You use music to communicate, express yourself, build relationships and tackle tough issues that words don’t easily express.
