Is Equine-Assisted Therapy Effective in Combatting Addiction?
Equine-Assisted Therapy has been around for centuries. Yes, centuries, as this is a type of therapy that originated alongside the Ancient Greeks. Although it wasn’t until 1969 that this type of therapeutic horse riding was introduced to North America by the Community Association for Riding Disabilities (CARD).
Quite a lot of people have enjoyed this type of therapy, and it has been proven effective when it comes to combatting addiction and various mental health problems faced by patients around the United States of America. Now, this is something that we’re hoping to bring into Texas, especially to those in the Dallas and Fort Worth Areas.
Equine-Assisted Therapy can be valuable to those suffering from Dual Diagnosis Disorders because the animals can help by comforting them and by giving them a safe environment to cope with the traumas they’ve suffered from. Plus, horses are known to pick up on feelings and the moods of those around them, so they can respond appropriately to how you’re feeling. In a way, they kind of mirror your emotions, which could be super helpful.
Worry not though for our team of certified medical professionals will be with you each step of the way, so you can rest assured that there are people to assist you 24/7. Especially if you haven’t had any previous interactions with these types of animals before – you’re in safe hands, and this is something that we guarantee to our patients and their families.
