Abstract
The treatment of clients with substance use
disorders (SUDs) is a challenge especially when
they lack insight into the substance use problem.
Such clients may not seek treatment and if they
do, may not benefit much from it. Therefore there
was a need to enhance problem recognition (PR)
among such clients. The study sought to determine
the effectiveness of music-based intervention
(MBI) in enhancing problem recognition among
clients with substance use disorders in residential
treatment in Kenya. The objective was to determine
if there were significant differences in PR between
clients exposed to MBI and the control group in a
selected residential treatment center in Kenya. The
study used a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent
control group pretest posttest design. A total
of 40 clients participated in the study, with the
experimental and control group having 20
participants each. Findings revealed that the
experimental group had significantly higher levels
of PR at post-test compared to the control group
after controlling for various covariates, suggesting
that MBI in addition to treatment as usual may
have contributed to increased PR in the treatment
group. This indicates that the MBI was effective
in enhancing PR among clients with SUDs.
Therefore, the MBI may be used as an evidencebased complementary intervention in enhancing problem recognition among clients with SUD in
treatment settings in Kenya.
