Drug and Alcohol Recovery Through Equine Therapy
Dec 20th, 2007 by admin
One of our most popular addiction recovery programs at The Open Door is Equine Therapy.
Equine therapy is an animal-assisted psychotherapy that involves horses. Equine therapy programs are designed keeping the individual needs of each patient who is looking to get rid of drugs and alcohol abuse. In these programs, the patient is encouraged to develop a bond with the horse that offers great mental health benefits.
Women who are unable to take part in rigorous physical activity can take part in the less rigorous activities that they can do with ease. Women who engage in equine therapy programs emerge more confident and take interest in socializing. This unique therapy also helps patients to get rid of fears and have a better control over themselves. Since riding involves physical activity the patients also become physically fit.
Our women’s drug and alcohol recovery programs, teaches women how to be positive towards life and learn to explore its numerous possibilities and opportunities. Woman learn to live life with a fresh new perspective where they take more interest in life, work towards improving family relationships, and feel that life has a purpose.
