Abstract
Substance abuse among adolescents continues to be a serious public health concern and challenge in the medical field. Although no specific treatment modality is effective in all settings, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is emerging as a positive intervention for working with adolescents. EAP is designed to address many different behaviors and emotions including: trust, self-esteem, communication, boundaries, and at-risk behaviors in adolescents through the use of a horse as a therapeutic tool. This new modality offers new ideas and interventions for nurse practitioners to become involved in the treatment and prevention of chemical dependency.
