What Is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is a scientifically validated approach that uses music to help clients reach their goals. Led by a qualified professional, music therapy can help reduce stress, enhance mood, and foster self-expression. This therapy can involve a range of activities, such as listening to music, singing, playing instruments, or creating music. It’s a behavioral science focused on transforming unhealthy behaviors, addressing the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of participants.

This therapy is part of an integrated approach to addiction treatment. Using music to promote self-connection and motivation for change can support clients in navigating life in sobriety. It’s an effective tool in helping individuals manage the challenges of recovery from substance use disorders.
