Art Therapy: A Key Element In Fairwinds Drug, Alcohol and Eating Disorders Treatment

Fairwinds Treatment Center- Focused On Your Recovery

Art therapy is an important element in both our alcohol and drug rehab and eating disorder treatment programs At Fairwinds Treatment Center, we believe there are many therapeutic benefits of art-making, some of which include increased levels of self-esteem, confidence, creativity, personal autonomy, motivation and awareness of the individual’s environment. Art therapy also provides the opportunity to express feelings, emotions and conflicts, as well as enhance social skills by interacting with others.

Art therapy is just one component of our comprehensive treatment programs for alcohol and drug addiction and eating disorders. Fairwinds provides a combination of individual and group services through both an educational and counseling approach.

Our treatment team is comprised of some of the most highly qualified and experienced addiction professionals in the field, including psychiatrists, general physicians, nursing professionals, licensed therapists and other specialists. And with one of the highest staff-to-patient ratios in the industry, you can expect exceptional levels of care in a safe and respectful environment.

Fairwinds Treatment Center has a specialized art therapist who uses the expression of art as a useful source of therapy. By drawing, painting, creating sculptures and collages, patients are able to express themselves. Art therapy is used as an educational way of self expression through a creative process. The main goal is to enable a patients growth on a personal level through the use of art materials in a safe and facilitating environment.
