Most people use Drugs and Alcohol because they think it will make them feel better, but in reality, they can actually leave you feeling worse – anxious and agitated, or flat, unmotivated and moody, and it also affects your sense of reality.

Our approach to Addiction Treatment
Treating an addiction is difficult, to be the most effective it should be holistic, which means it must address all the factors that contribute to the disorder i.e. Biological, Psychological and Social factors. Music therapy confronts issues of control by asking the individual to use a talent or skill, or to learn to use a skill that is different and may be new to them. By integrating music into the therapy clients experience a wider range of benefits which accelerates the overall recovery. Apart from this, it also helps: -
-
Improve the ability to recognise and accept different emotions.
-
Promote self-expression and self-awareness.
-
Increase self-esteem.
-
Facilitates relaxation and stress reduction.
