How the Music Industry Is Taking a Page From ‘Dry January’ With New Approaches to Addiction Recovery (Guest Column)

But for many Americans, the problem of addiction is more serious.

Sadly, conventional approaches to addiction are not solving the problem at the same pace it’s growing. Despite the best of intentions, these traditional approaches can lead to feelings of shame and exclusion; many people in recovery say treatment programs can be too much sitting around and talking about their weaknesses. They can also feel isolating, and loneliness is one of the worst problems someone struggling with addiction can face.

In music, at least, it’s a question that’s now being answered by a number of artists, companies and organizations. It’s clear that people across the music industry see the urgent need for something new. And perhaps it’s not surprising to see how the industry is uniquely able to offer it.

I loved reading this!!! The music industry is filled with so many amazing people who have come out on the other side of recovery. Hearing their stories and understanding that there is more than one way to heal is SO important.
