Alcoholism and other chemical dependencies and addiction are viewed as progressive and potentially fatal, if left untreated. Process addictions such as sexual, gambling, hoarding, and eating disorders are typically treated in terms of interrupting rigid coping strategies and recovery models being individualized to client needs. Art therapy uses creative processes to establish a clearer understanding of self-motivations and recovery frames such as the stages of change. Inherent in this process is the power of the image and processes of problem solving. Creative media can be used for individuals to explore and concretize thoughts, feelings, and conflicts and motivation to change and related recovery issues.
