Addictions

Music therapy supports individuals and family members affected by addictions and substance abuse. Music can reduce anxiety and depression, and provides a supportive medium for expressing and processing emotions and developing insight and coping strategies.

Musical interactions can provide meaningful experiences of connection and purpose while simultaneously providing opportunities for individual self-expression and improving communication and relationship building skills.
