Abstract Objective: The rising incidence of psychological disorders has led to an increase in addictive behaviours. Research indicates that underlying mental health conditions significantly heighten the risk of addictive disorders. Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite adverse consequences. It is considered a brain disorder, because it involves functional changes to brain circuits involved in reward, stress, and self-control. In Ayurveda, Prasanna Mana is an inevitable component of health. Addiction can be classified as Manasa Vyadhi and Acharya Sushruta highlights the role of sensory stimuli, including Ishta Shabda (sound therapy), as its therapeutic tool. Data Sources: The review incorporated Ayurveda classical texts, alongside electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Ayushdhara portal. The search terms used in the electronic databases were "Sangeet Chikitsa in De-addiction" and "Music Therapy in De-addiction." The search resulted in 22 articles from PubMed, 472 articles from Google Scholar, and no articles from the Ayushdhara portal. Review Methods: The data obtained from these sources was compiled, analyzed, and assessed. A total of 6 articles were selected for in-depth review based on their relevance and quality. Result: Ayurveda classical texts have underscored the implementation of Sangeet Chikitsa in Manasa Vyadhi and Madatyaya. Contemporary research validates the effecicacy of Music Therapy in de-addiction. Conclusion: The therapeutic potential of Indian classical music through Sangeet Chikitsa remains underexplored, offering a promising, cost-effective, and safer alternative for addressing addiction.
