While less studied than more traditional therapies, holistic therapies are being researched more in-depth to help treat a range of conditions, including addiction. Music therapy is one of these techniques, with more and more evidence stacking in favour of its effectiveness. Music therapy can reduce the intensity of pain, symptoms of anxiety and depression, increase sleep quality and improve the quality of life for individuals with conditions like autism. Music can also activate the centres of our brain responsible for motor control, speech and overall cognition.
