Why Animal-Assisted Therapy is a Great Addition to Addiction Recovery Tools

Substance addiction withdrawal is no easy ordeal to deal with. A lot of recovering people feel chills, shake, or show aggression. Animals provide emotional and psychological benefits to the patients by making them feel calmer and secure.

Therapy animals can also give confidence to the patient who feels ashamed to share their experience. It’s not easy for someone to talk about the bad decisions they made in life once they come down from a drug-induced nightmare.

With a therapy animal by their side, they’re more inclined to open up to one-on-one or group therapy sessions due to the security and confidence they receive from their furry companion.
