Animal-Assisted Therapy

Animal-assisted therapy is not intended to be a stand-alone treatment. When paired with other treatments for drug use disorders, the therapeutic method helps drive individuals to continue in treatment. Animals may also help therapists and clients resolve mental health issues in ways that other methods of treatment cannot.

Dogs, horses, and even dolphins have a significant influence on many people. When a person begins treatment for a drug or alcohol addiction, they will most likely go through several forms of therapy, such as group or behavioral therapy, and maybe a pharmaceutical regimen to help them recover. Holistic therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, or art therapy may also be provided to certain patients. Others may be able to participate in animal-assisted therapy with dogs, horses, and even dolphins.

The Benefits

Animal-assisted therapy for drug use disorders has received less attention than AAT for other mental health issues. According to published research involving patients suffering from addiction, the therapy appears to increase the “therapeutic alliance,” a phrase referring to the bond between a patient and their therapist.

Many people with drug abuse issues drop out of therapy too soon. A solid therapeutic connection increases the likelihood that patients will continue treatment and benefit from it. The presence of an animal during treatment is thought to improve the therapeutic relationship and lessen anxiety.

Animal-assisted therapy is used to treat individuals with mental disorders, inmates, people with illnesses such as cerebral palsy and Alzheimer’s disease, and those suffering from drug misuse disorders. Interacting with animals decreases emotions of aggressiveness, sadness, and anxiety while also making people happier and calmer. Visiting with a dog has been demonstrated in studies to alleviate discomfort and pain-related symptoms, and friendly dogs are frequently employed in hospitals to calm worried patients. Many addiction treatment clinics now provide patients with animal-assisted therapy, which includes a wide range of animals such as cats, birds, rabbits, and horses.

If your loved one is abusing dangerous drugs, consulting with a family therapist can help the family system heal. Contact a drug and addiction treatment facilities without risk and discuss your recovery alternatives

Honestly though, I'm kind of keen on trying ecotherapy and therapy thats outdoors and has animals when we move and have to find a new therapist. We've been a bit haunted by our CSA shit thinking about finding a new therapist cause we know we should go back to working on it now that we got our autism ducks in line and thinking about it just stresses our nervous system again but I'm really hoping we can make ecotherapy work. If not that I am thinking with our level of lowered dissociation that we might go for EMDR or maybe ketamine assisted therapy (wed have to do more research on it before wed be comfortable trying it)

today at her therapy visit, & with only ONE "shake" having been done with a treat lure, mina & J. have FINALLY had the Perfect Paw Shake that J. has wanted for the last few visits. 😊 it was a combo of J. not saying the cue word loud or quick enough, plus mina not being used to shaking other hands, so she'd keep looking to me. 😂 this "shake" you see here was about 10 minutes after the lured one: J. got the delivery down & her hand out, & mina plopped her butt down & these 2 shook on their cemented connection! 🥰🥰🥰

i’ve had these concepts for Owl House OCs ping poging around in my brain for the last like week now and i desperately need to write it out slash draw them

the first is one of the golden guards that’s long since been dead or presumed dead, just a real sad and reluctant guy who knows what he is but played along to stay alive as long as he could

and the other is a teaching assistant currently employed at Hexside, who is an absolute train wreck mentally and just wishes these kids they help teach would calm the hell down once in a while
