There are a great many types of treatment techniques that drug rehabs and addiction recovery centers employ in order to help those addicted to drugs and alcohol stop using substances, and continue to pursue lifelong sobriety.
The benefits of using this form of addiction therapy, are wide and varied. One great benefit of music therapy is that it does not feel like therapy -- it simply feels like listening-to and enjoying music. It has long-been known that music is tied very closely to human emotions, and has also been-shown to have a direct connection to human health. Using music to access the mind and influence emotional responses has had much success in the treatment of mental and behavioral disorders, so it is only natural that it would be equally as helpful as a tool against addiction and chemical dependency.
Music Therapy Programs basically involve not-only listening to and playing music, but also deep discussions about the music and the emotional responses that the individual receives from hearing the music. In these group music discussions, all of the recovering addicts attending the group begin to form bonds with eachother based on the mutual love of music and the continuing strive for sobriety.
