Aretha Franklin once said about music: “It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” Elton John explained that “music has healing power.” Not only musicians feel this power. Humans have understood music’s soothing, inspiring, and therapeutic effects through the millennia. Addiction therapy programs rely on evidence-based treatments as the foundation of their treatment but increasingly understand the importance of other modalities to amplify the positive impact of the entire treatment protocol. From mindfulness practices to experiential therapies like music therapy, Apex Recovery Tennessee provides a range of holistic, whole-person options that can significantly improve long-term recovery outcomes.

The Basics of Music Therapy
Science has come to understand the connection between music and healing. Music enhances healthy cell growth, boosts the immune system, reduces seizure activity, and has many other physical benefits and a powerful effect on the mind.
In scans, certain brain areas can light up in response to music. Because of how the brain receives it, music can heal, soothe, and uplift. Humans have innate responses to music and learned responses based on upbringing and exposure. Music therapy’s beauty is that your tastes determine the kind of music that works.
