Tuning In To Recovery
It focuses on harnessing the emotional and psychological power of music to facilitate healing, self-expression, and emotional regulation in individuals overcoming addiction and mental health challenges.
Tuning In To Recovery is an outpatient class designed to aid in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. We encourage clients to express themselves and to express their feelings through the healing power of music. Musical expression will also be a means by which clients will learn to connect and communicate with one another.
The opposite of addiction is connection. And connection with others is always a principle goal in treatment.
