Art and Music Therapy at The Source
Individualized treatment is particularly important to a successful recovery journey. Not every person will have success exploring their own personal struggles through traditional counseling. The Source offers alternative and complementary forms of therapy to help patients explore the root causes of addiction. In music and art therapy, a person can retrieve those deep, seeded struggles through the creative mind that may not have been accessible through psychotherapy alone.
Studies have shown that art and music therapy are highly effective for alleviating pain, promoting wellness, improving communication, managing stress, and giving people a way to express themselves. This form of therapy can be done through many art forms including painting, photography, traditional crafts, playing music, listening to music, and dance. Unlike regular art or music lessons, creative therapy focuses on supporting what the person gets out of the session and not on their skill. There is no judgment on what is created. Through guidance from an art therapist, the creative process and resulting artwork is used to explore feelings, manage behavior and addiction, develop social skills, reduce anxiety, and foster self-awareness.
The Source quite frankly saved my life and got me back on track, never giving giving up on me. When you are thinking about and looking through all of the different places to go for treatment this is the one that should stand out from the rest.
