Surf City is a Pet Friendly Rehab Center
"A pet is an island of sanity in what appears
to be an insane world...one can rely upon the fact that one's pet will always
remain a faithful, intimate, non-competitive friend -- regardless of the
good or ill fortune life brings us."— Dr. Boris Levinson, Child Psychologist Surf City Drug Rehabilitation knows how important your pet is to you. What would your road to recovery from addiction be without your friend and companion by your side? Today, there are all sorts of research programs in place to test the effect that animals have on the mentally ill, the terminally sick, the elderly, people recovering from trauma or who have physical disabilities. Studies are showing that regular interaction with pets can help to lower blood pressure and heart rate, increase beta-endorphin levels, decrease stress levels, reduce feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, improve social functioning, and increase feelings of empowerment, and self-esteem. What researchers are coming to understand is something we knew all along: A pet is a wonderfully healthy recovery tool that has no side affects — that is other than providing you with unwavering support, love, and furry warmth. For more information about bringing your pet to Surf City Drug Rehabilitation, please refer to our "Pet Policy" in the FAQ section of this website. |
