So, what should you know about getting music therapy in Sacramento at Pathways Recovery?
First, let’s define music therapy as a treatment method and talk about what to expect in music therapy sessions. Then, we’ll discuss how music therapy is used in our programs, our levels of care, and the benefits of choosing Pathways Recovery for your addiction treatment needs.
What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is a type of mental health treatment that involves using music to accomplish therapeutic goals. Music therapy sessions are conducted by licensed mental health professionals with specialized training. Music therapy can be used for people facing a wide range of mental health concerns. Research on music therapy for addiction shows that it can aid client engagement and motivation while facilitating the exploration of emotions. Examples of activities one might engage in during music therapy include but aren’t limited to the following.:
- Listening to music
- Analyzing lyrics
- Playing instruments
- Discussions
- Songwriting
- Musical games
Many people find that music helps them relieve stress, cope with negative feelings, and express themselves. You do not have to have a background in music to benefit from music therapy. Generally speaking, music therapy can occur in individual or group settings. During music therapy sessions, a therapist will guide you or the therapy group you’re in through activities. At Pathways Recovery, clients highly regard and enjoy music therapy groups.

Inpatient & Outpatient Programs at Pathways Recovery
Music therapy can be used in inpatient or outpatient treatment settings. At Pathways Recovery, we offer both inpatient and outpatient rehab options. When you contact us about attending Pathways Recovery for treatment, we can help you explore what level of care is the right starting point for you. With that in mind, here’s a little about our programs and their purposes.
Medical Detox
Getting off of drugs and alcohol can come with various physical and mental withdrawal symptoms. Starting treatment at our detox center is ideal for clients who need help getting through the acute withdrawal process. Usually, detox lasts around 7-10 days and acts as a precursor to another level of care.
Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient rehab programs involve living on-site at a treatment facility and following a structured daily schedule of therapy and other activities, like meals and recreation. Our residential inpatient programs can be ideal for those in recovery because they remove you from daily life triggers temporarily and help you establish new patterns in a substance-free environment. While the length of an inpatient rehab stay can vary based on your needs, many clients stay for an average of about six weeks.
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient rehab programs can be ideal for those who need to balance work, family life, or school with treatment. Often, our clients start outpatient rehab immediately following inpatient treatment to aid their transition back into everyday life, but it is also possible to start with outpatient care, depending on your needs. We have an intensive outpatient program (IOP), which meets more often than a traditional outpatient program, and an outpatient program.
