Desert Hope Treatment Center Designates Space for Patients with Emotional Support Animals
January 06 2020 - 12:07PM
Desert Hope Treatment Center, a leading substance use treatment
provider, has designated 10 rooms within the facility specifically
for patients with service and/or emotional support animals.
Research has shown that animals in therapeutic settings,
particularly for substance use and mental health conditions, has
been beneficial.
“Some of our patients have mental health disorders,
such as PTSD or depression, that may require the use of an
emotional support animal, and we fully support that,” said Derek
Price, CEO of Desert Hope Treatment Center. “If the companionship
of an emotional support animal assists our patients in achieving
long-term recovery, we will certainly make accommodations.”
Addiction treatment can bring about a great deal of
stress for some patients. For those with mental health conditions,
stress can lead to adverse effects eased only by their support
animal. Emotional support animals can be vital for certain
patients. Their presence can encourage self-motivation and they can
even enhance the treatment process.
On a case-by-case basis, patients’ emotional
support animals may accompany them to the facility. At this time
Desert Hope is only accepting emotional support dogs, and certain
requirements must be met to ensure the safety of patients and not
impede the ability for clinicians to provide proper care.
