The article deals with the therapeutic effects of music in the treatment of people with addiction problems. Over a period of several months, patients of a Viennese addiction clinic are repeatedly talked about their experiences with music and substance use. An interesting question is whether and how biographically significant songs can trigger addictive pressure in patients. Here, the distinction between reward craving and relief craving provides a useful framework for understanding the problem.
