Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic, a top-rated drug rehab and alcohol treatment program for women in British Columbia at https://georgiastraitwomensclinic.ca/, is proud to announce a new post to their lively blog. The latest posts draws attention to animal-assisted therapy and highlights the innovative therapy options available to women at the Clinic.
“Helping clients recover from addiction and trauma means using every relevant therapeutic tool,” explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer. “Animal-assisted therapy might seem small and insignificant, but it can be a great tool for recovery for many women. We work hard with all clients to identify the therapy methods that will get the results, especially since our clients are co-equal participants in their recovery efforts.”

That post identifies some key distinctions in animal-assisted therapy, such as a) animal-assisted activities (AAA), b) animal-assisted education (AAE), and c) animal-assisted therapy (AAT). AAT refers to the formal use of animals in a structured form of treatment therapy often in conjunction with additional, more traditional, techniques and implemented by a licensed therapist. Currently already being incorporated into treatment plans for those living with things such as stress, depression, anxiety, and PTSD, the field of AAT only continues to grow as more research takes place. Indeed, those who would like to learn more about the Clinic’s approach can visit https://georgiastraitwomensclinic.ca/our-approach/, which explains the four elements of treatment: physical, psychological, social, and spiritual.
