Music Is Our Medicine: The Story of Recovery Unplugged(R)

More about the book

Fighting substance abuse with words is not working. But at Recovery Unplugged, there is a new approach that's helping addicts get the message: music. This method is based on recovery statistics unheard of in the rehab community, and the indisputable fact is it's working. Cofounded by author Paul Pellinger, Recovery Unplugged specializes in using music therapy as a catalyst for positive and long-lasting change. Through analyzing, creating, performing, and hearing music that is aimed at the heart instead of the head, clients are finding new motivation and inspiration to get-and stay-clean. In this book, Pellinger breaks down why his approach works and provides real examples of it in action. He traces his personal path in recovery from the moment he discovered the power of music at a young age to his years of experience in the treatment industry. Paul learned to combine this power with tried-and-true practices to create a new treatment process. Starting with a treatment facility in South Florida, it has grown into a nationally recognized movement with multiple locations. The approach described in Music Is Our Medicine can help the sick and suffering addict and potentially break the cycle for decades to come.
