Healing often begins in the quiet moments, when we learn to listen for what is unspoken. 🐎✨

Through our partnership with Kindle Hill Foundation, we offer equine-assisted learning and therapy that goes beyond words. These sessions help individuals recognize and respond to emotions, body language, and the deeper feelings we often struggle to express.

By connecting with horses, our clients develop self-awareness, trust, and emotional growth, learning to listen to themselves and others.

In the face of rising rates of drug overdose, one name has become a household lifeline: Narcan.

👉 This fast-acting medication has saved thousands of lives by reversing the deadly effects of opioid overdoses. However, its role is often misunderstood, especially when it comes to non-opioid substances like Xanax, leading to questions like “Does Narcan work on Xanax?”

The answer is no. This article will explain: https://bit.ly/4khp01I.

If you or a loved one is struggling with substance use, don’t wait for an emergency to take action. Call us today at (888) 293-6544 to take the first step toward recovery. 💚

Does Narcan Work on Xanax? No—Narcan does not work for a Xanax overdose. It only works on opioid drugs to reverse an overdose.

Quitting alcohol “cold turkey” refers to stopping it abruptly without any slow weaning off process.

Essentially, if you go this route, you go from daily alcohol consumption to none. Quitting cold turkey will send your body into alcohol withdrawal because it has developed a physical dependence.

There are certain risks and dangers connected with stopping alcohol abruptly. Let’s discuss whether stopping alcohol cold turkey is safe, what alarm signs to watch for, and how to safely overcome alcoholism: https://footprintstorecovery.com/blog/what-are-the-risks-of-stopping-alcohol-cold-turkey/.

If you have any questions about quitting alcohol, please reach out to us at (888) 293-6544. Sobriety is close at hand if you take the first step towards recovery and accept help.
