5 Songs to Support, Heal and Inspire
We've all listened to music to get through tough times. Maybe it's a break-up or a family argument. Other times we turn to music to boost our energy or recalibrate after a particularly hard day. But music is much more than a pleasant distraction. Recovery Unplugged uses music as a primary component in addiction treatment and recovery.
The groundbreaking treatment center (with multiple locations throughout the U.S.) is first and only organization in the world to fully utilize music in addiction treatment. In addition to supervised detoxification, group therapy and individualized counseling, and aftercare, Recovery Unplugged harnesses the power of music to break down barriers and reconnect clients to the world of the living.
A common misconception in any sort of music therapy is that you have to be a musician to participate. Facilitated workshops and group sessions use many different modalities, including basic lyric writing and song composition, therapeutic drumming, listening and analysis, and appearances by guest artists, such as Recovery Unplugged's Director of Creative Recovery (and music industry powerhouse) Richie Supa.
