At Touchstone Ranch Recovery Center, we recognize equine therapy as a powerful and integral component of the addiction recovery process. To enhance this experience, we have partnered with Texan Therapeutic Riding at Tarleton State University. Texan Therapeutic Riding is a Premier Accredited Center through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH International), ensuring the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and effectiveness in equine-assisted services.
Animals play a valuable role in supporting mental health by providing a sense of security through non-judgmental companionship.
During each session, clients learn to interpret life circumstances and develop self-awareness in connection with their personal recovery journey.
They work to enhance self-worth by engaging in interpretive and symbolic activities that foster insight and personal growth.
Reach out to us to learn more about how equine therapy can support recovery.
Touchstone Ranch Recovery Center utilizes equine therapy to support a wide range of individuals across various psychological and physical spectrums. Equine-assisted therapy can benefit those struggling with addiction to substances such as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, and alcohol.
When a client forms a bond with a horse in an equine therapy program, the animal serves as a blank slate, entering the relationship without any preconceived notions about the individual in recovery.
This creates a powerful opportunity for clients to recognize how their behavior affects others. For many who have lived with addiction for years, this insight can represent a significant breakthrough.
Our team of compassionate counselors plays a key role in the equine therapy process. They engage with clients about their experiences, helping them explore the deeper metaphor between these therapeutic activities and the process of rebuilding and recovering their lives.
We hope that the positive skills clients develop through equine therapy become lasting tools they can rely on to maintain sobriety after treatment.
If you struggle with substance use disorder, you are not alone. Our team at TRRC is available to provide a unique treatment experience that includes equine therapy.
Let us help you get on track to better health and well-being.
We invite you to enjoy our serene ranch and an environment conducive to recovery; explore nature and experience the benefits of sunlight for improved mental health and overall well-being.
