In deciding to gain treatment for addiction, addicts have more options today than ever before. Beaches Recovery in Jacksonville, FL provides art therapy for drug and alcohol addiction, as one of a multitude of recovery treatment options. Usually used in combination with other therapies, art therapy provides addicts with a medium for self-expression and healing.
Art therapy allows patients to use their imagination and creativity to express their emotions within a healthy and productive art form. Art therapy enables patients to communicate more effectively, better relating to personal experiences of addiction and other aspects of their lives.
Many forms of art therapy for drug and alcohol addiction may be used. Some of these forms include:
Art therapy is an expressive group therapy wherein addicts are encouraged to freely convey their innermost thoughts and feelings. This form of expression empowers them to communicate things they may not be able to verbalize. Many addicts are greatly helped through art therapy for drug and alcohol addiction, particularly those who suffered abuse or were otherwise victimized.
There are three techniques commonly employed within art therapy for drug and alcohol addiction. Those include:
A great means of working out experiences, issues and emotions that contributed to addiction, art therapy is a safe form of nonverbal expression. For addicts particularly wary of verbal communication about their past or feelings, art therapy can provide a means of opening up and relieving the burden of those unexpressed issues.
