Drug Rehabilitation Programs
Why are horses used in drug rehabilitation programs?
I've always wondered about this …. Anyone know?
Many of the people in drug rehabilitation programs have serious problems of self-esteem and are emotionally very damaged and vulnerable. Horses and dogs, which are used in drug rehabilitation programs, are not judgments about the appearance of a person, his manner of speaking, the color of their skin, and its previous history. Horses and dogs also respond to affection easily, which gives instant gratification. Horses and dogs, in fact all animals also live at this time. They do not care about things that happened last year or plan your life for a year from now. They take time as it comes, which helps reduce stress. It can also be very rewarding for someone who has low self-esteem to see who can do a half-ton animal do what they want. Working with animals also it gives people a rehabilitation point of communication with his advisers that is not loaded with emotion. This can be very helpful too.
