How Music Group Is Used in Addiction Treatment
At Nova, music is regularly used as a therapeutic intervention throughout drug and alcohol rehab. Many clients suffering from addiction are dealing with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, and stress, and we have found that our music group is central to helping them address self-defeating thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
In one of our music group exercises, clients listen to music, follow along with the words, and underline the words and phrases that speak to them. The therapist then leads the group in a discussion about those lyrics or words that carried special meaning for them and how that relates to their feelings and memories.
Many activities facilitated in music group involve all different genres of music and are designed to help clients understand how music can evoke feelings and memories. These emotions and memories may be positive or negative, but they all impact our behaviors and substance use habits. Music also allows us to access memories, thoughts, and feelings that we may not otherwise be able to or be willing to access, opening up doors for the sharing and exploring of deeply-buried emotions.
Conversely, music can also cause us to crave particular substances or reminisce about old times using drugs on our own or with friends. For this reason, it’s important that clients take the time to pause, talk about how they feel, and allow time and space to process these issues. Using this technique, will allow individuals to be success in aftercare and sober living.
