Art Therapy
Art therapy uses drawing, painting, and other creative work to help you express feelings that are hard to put into words. At Merritt Recovery, it is a core part of many treatment plans, giving you and your loved one another way to process what recovery brings up.
How Art Therapy Works in Treatment
Art therapy uses creative work, drawing, painting, or working with clay, to help you express things that are hard to put into words. A session is quiet and unhurried. A licensed clinician might invite you or your loved one to make an image tied to a feeling or memory, then talk through what came up. In recovery, this can ease anxiety, surface emotions tied to trauma, and offer a healthier outlet than substance use. It is one part of a wider treatment plan, and your care team adjusts the approach as you make progress.
