All suspected cases are reported to the Department of Health (or local agency) who will be handling it accordingly. A deep cleaning will occur at the identified location.

group at a holistic art therapy program Every individual we see at The Detox Center is unique. For that reason, we utilize a number of different treatment programs and addiction therapy programs while creating treatment plans. One therapy we use to complement traditional addiction treatment like counseling and medical care is holistic art therapy. During art therapy, our clients learn to show and express their thoughts and emotions through artistic projects. Art can become an outlet for negative emotions and a healthy coping skill for times of stress.

What is Holistic Art Therapy for Addiction?

Not every person feels comfortable opening up in a group or even individual therapy. They might worry about being judged or have private struggles they don’t want to share aloud. In holistic art therapy, these individuals have the chance to express their emotions in a non-verbal way.

So what happens during art therapy? Under the guidance of a therapist, clients draw, paint, sculpt, dance, make music, write poetry, or engage in other creative arts. During these sessions, they might explore an event from their past or connect their art with an emotion they are feeling. This self-expression can be a healthy way to work through negative thoughts. Additionally, art can open those in recovery up to new perspectives. Sometimes we can connect with ideas better in artistic form.

Research from the National Institutes of Health shows that when used as a complement to tradition programs, art therapy can improve patient outcomes. Healthy coping skills are necessary for long-term recovery, and creating art can become a lasting habit.

The Benefits of a Holistic Art Therapy Program

At The Detox Center, we utilize art therapy along with other traditional and alternative treatment programs.

Drugs and alcohol can be a way for people to deal with past trauma or mental health issues. Through therapy, you can learn to turn to healthier outlets for relief from stress or anxiety. Art therapy offers a way to work through these feelings.

What are the benefits of a holistic art therapy program? They can include the following:

Provides a nonverbal option for communicating and working through negative emotions
You can discuss your work rather than discussing yourself
Provides an outlet for stress
Is a new way of expressing your story
Allows you to reframe your reality through visual media
Boosts self-confidence and self-discovery
