“I WAS BORN ADDICTED TO COCAINE AND HEROIN”
That’s how life began for Kenni Bell. Both parents addicted, brothers in gangs and she was taken away for adoption.

In this edition of Odyssey House Journals you won’t believe what she’s doing, how long she’s been in recovery and what happened to her children.

CAN MUSIC THERAPY REALLY HELP WITH ADDICTION?
The experts say yes because music literally accesses all areas of the brain. It can take people battling addiction to a safe space, a place where they can feel emotions. Jaycie Voorhees takes a music therapy program into treatment centers and the results are often amazing. Her company, Harmony Music Therapy, helps people to relax their brains and get rid of the fight or flight emotion. In this edition of Odyssey House Journals she tells us how she can create a rock band in 5 minutes at a treatment center.
