		<description><![CDATA[TIGER MOUNTAIN RECOVERY EQUINE THERAPY PROGRAM  TRUE COMMUNICATION = A POSITIVE CHANGE &#160; Tiger Mountain Recovery’s equine assisted therapy mission is to provide unique learning experiences that promote lifelong coping skills that build confidence through the strengthening of character and developing personal responsibility. Equine communication therapy builds on the other therapeutic modalities offered by the facility. &#160; A HORSE IS A HORSE OF COURSE  As clients spend time with horses they will begin to recognize and understand that their relationships with the horses also influence their approach to dealing with other life situations.  Developing relationships, learning the language of the horses, loving and caring is a mutually beneficial and rewarding experience. Clients gain new life skills that can improve work ethic, gain a better understanding of respect and responsibility, cultivate assertiveness, develop clear communication skills, and foster healthy relationships. Observing and understanding horses also teaches clients how to become grounded by honesty. Accomplishing a task with a very large animal (1,000 to 1,200 pounds) can be self-rewarding.  The horse requires humans to utilize leadership skills and exhibit confidence and therefore provides a wonderful metaphor for dealing with other intimidating and challenging situations in life. Most importantly, horses are honest, which makes them especially powerful messengers and they have the ability to mirror exactly what human body language is telling them, therefore creating a mutually reactionary relationship where the horse and the human are learning from each other’s body language and each making accommodations to reach the goals at hand.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Substance abuse treatment: Until you “get it”; it&#8217;s all bull! Yes, you heard me right. It is impossible to make someone believe something that they are not ready to receive, inherently know more about, or obstinately resist. Recovery works, but only if you are willing to open yourself up for drastic changes and dedicate to actively working on yourself every day from here on out. Until an individual can grasp the basic tenets of what a life in recovery entails, it won&#8217;t work. It&#8217;s a hard, cold fact, but it&#8217;s just that: fact. Drug use has undoubtedly caused negativity in your life, but the drugs themselves are not the problem. Drug use is a symptom of underlying issues that we mask or numb through abusing substances. Just quitting is not enough to heal us. Treatment is not a quick-fix; we don’t come out perfect but we do come out with the skills we are going to need to tackle long-term change. We have to heal from the inside out and it’s okay to need help. Substance abuse treatment provides us with the knowledge and skills that we will need on this journey and a safe environment to start some serious self-reflection. Now, it is one thing to gain new knowledge that provides us with the tools necessary for a better tomorrow, and it is quite another to put them into active use today. Success is found in the individual evolution of existing belief systems. We all have beliefs that ...]]></description>
