title: Nurse-led art expression in addiction treatment.
abstract: Creative expression can be a potent force in recovery programs, and psychosocial nurses trained in group processes can use art expression as part of addiction recovery and relapse prevention. Enabling clients to understand recovery and recognize what life offers without addiction is one of the best defenses against relapse during difficult times.
