You might be wondering how pets and substance abuse are related. Alumni of their programs are often under great amounts of anxiety, depression and stress. According to the Mental Health Foundation, the companionship that a pet offers is a great way to reduce these issues often associated with recovery from substance abuse.
Due to the mental health benefits of pet adoption, The Recovery Village is trying to spread the word and encourage more people to adopt! They have written a comprehensive resource related to pet adoption on their website at https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/resources/pet-adoption/.
