A Brief Review on the Effect of Music for SUD Therapy Control and Management with a Vision Based on Depression, Anxiety, and Stress

We found that Music Therapy (MT) can produce a significant and efficacious treatment effect in substance use disorders; although the overall certainty of these findings was moderate to low due to imprecise estimates and non-generalizable, single-center study methodology with a single researcher, limiting external validity transfers. This research finding shows that, in support of conventional treatment, MT results in a moderate decrease in substance use cravings and facilitates motivation for treatment or personal change. These findings are clinically relevant since individuals in the detoxification process of substance use may experience high levels of drug cravings, and as such, they may relapse. In his study, Suchart holds that any orientation towards music can decrease or raise cravings. Therefore, the competencies of a professional music therapist are crucial to helping substance users under treatment use proactively constructive and prevent counterproductive stochastic responses to music therapy.
