Introduction to Art Therapy
Addiction is something that plagues millions of people every day and for many of those people, coming to terms with their addiction is hard, even with treatment. That is one reason that treatment is constantly evolving and finding new ways to treat people and help them deal with their addiction and the subsequent consequences. Part of this process means using new and different forms of treatment to help clients cope and develop the skills they need to live a sober life. While some of the treatments used for addiction are the types of therapy most people are used to, more often, addiction treatment centers find other types of therapy to help with the treatment process.
One such therapy that we use here at Atlanta Recovery is art therapy. You may wonder what type of role art therapy plays in addiction, but much like some of the other non-traditional therapy options that we have here, our art therapy in Georgia has a number of benefits that supplement the standard treatment regimen of clients in rehab. Combining traditional and non-traditional treatments together in a controlled setting improves the success rates for those in recovery for both the short term, completing rehab, and the long term, staying sober once they have exited our rehab program.

The apartments were extremely nice and the girl community there was solid. During my stay at ARP I was able to work on me mentally, physically, and eventually spiritually. The counselors there are all great."

What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is considered a type of complementary alternative medicine that is used alongside traditional addiction treatment. This means that it is not the primary form of treatment used to treat someone with an addiction but instead acts to work with traditional forms of treatment to improve the effects. Art therapy is one of many different therapies that are now being considered in the treatment of addiction as an alternative to a strictly clinical approach to treatment.
Evidence has shown that art, music, and other similar therapies have many beneficial effects during the addiction treatment process. Art therapy is administered by a trained therapist in a clinical setting and can be used as part of just about any type of treatment program, making it an effective tool for the recovery process.

How is Art Helpful in Addiction?
Many people enjoy art in their day-to-day life, whether it’s viewing art, doodling in a notebook, or painting pictures. Art requires focus and concentration, two skills that are very important in the process of addiction recovery. By using art as a way to achieve focus and calm, people in recovery can work towards their goals with fewer distractions.
Art even allows people to get in touch with their emotions and connect on a deeper level. This can help make amends with people for the harm you’ve caused due to your addiction and can also help traditional therapy uncover the underlying reasons for your addiction. Addiction usually is not caused by the substance alone but by using the substance to cope with other problems in a person’s life.
Our Georgia art therapy program is the perfect complement to traditional therapy. Even clients who may have relapsed previously may have better success when including art therapy as part of their treatment. The more committed and focused on recovery a person is, the more likely they are to stay sober for the long term. Our therapists and staff at Atlanta Recovery believe everyone deserves a chance at sobriety, even if they have failed in the past.

Who Can Benefit From Art Therapy in Georgia?
Art therapy has the benefit of being effective for anyone in rehab. It can be used in just about any type of setting for rehab, including group sessions where participants can share their art with others going through their rehab journey simultaneously. Individual sessions benefit from having direct contact with the therapist, where the therapist can guide the art sessions so that the person in rehab can express their emotions and connect to their addiction.
This can be done in an outpatient setting, where clients are free to leave afterward, or in an inpatient or hospital setting, where the client stays at the facility. Regardless of the setting, the benefits to the client are numerous, and anyone who partakes in art therapy will likely have a better outcome than those who don’t have art therapy.
Getting in touch with your feelings can do more than just help you discover the cause of your addiction, it can also help once the treatment process is over to reforge the bonds with family and friends that may have been broken due to addiction. A better sense of self-awareness and better emotional connection also helps people develop empathy, which is a much-needed skill if they make amends for the wrongs they have committed while addicted.
Once you have decided to get help from our Atlanta art therapy rehab program, you can talk with one of our staff members about the type of treatment that will work best for you. Suppose you feel that you may also be dealing with mental health issues. In that case, you may be eligible for one of our dual diagnosis programs that help treat different types of mental illness alongside addiction treatment.
