Conditions and Issues Treated
Substance Abuse + Addiction Treatment at Zuma's Equine Assisted Learning
Substance Abuse Treatment is important when getting sober, as it helps addicts learn the skills they need to live a clean life. There are many different kinds of recovery treatment, including medication-assisted therapy, behavioral therapeutic approaches and self-help groups, as well as counseling.
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Inpatient, Intervention, Residential, with additional therapies available as listed below.
Inpatient treatment centers offer a safe, secure, and often medically supervised environment for drug or alcohol-addicted individuals. Many of these facilities are equipped to provide detoxification, treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders, and aftercare programs. The patient typically spends 28 to 30 days at the facility and will receive extensive drug counseling.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.
Interventionism is a technique used to help an addict get clean and sober. The process begins with the addict’s family, friends, and co-workers gathering together to confront the addict about their addiction. This kind of treatment aims to get the addict in touch with their feelings about their addiction. They are encouraged to speak honestly about their drug use, as well as how it’s making them feel. Most addicts come to understand that their loved ones are only trying to help them.
Therapies & Programs
Family therapy is a crucial part of drug treatment and getting sober. It is one of the most effective ways to help addicts stay on the path to long-term sobriety. An addict’s family can play a vital part in helping them to avoid relapse. They can spot the warning signs and help them get back on track.
Patient Experience
Equine Therapy at Zuma's Equine Assisted Learning in Colorado
The therapy uses horses to treat addicts in a variety of ways. The most common use of this therapy is to teach the addict how to communicate, connect and work with the horse. It takes a lot of trust on both sides for this to work. The addict must be able to trust the horse, and the horse needs to trust the addict.
The addicts are taught how to establish a bond with the horse and to establish trust between them. Often addicts who have been victims of abuse or suffered from other significant issues, such as the loss of a loved one, use this therapy to learn how to be in control and build their self-confidence.
