Therapy animals bring comfort, encouragement, and connection to many people in group settings. They are an important part of healing, though they are not the same as service animals.

Legal Status

Therapy animals are not considered service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act. They do not have the same public access rights as service animals and are not automatically permitted in businesses, healthcare facilities, restaurants, or other public spaces.

At CompDrug

We appreciate the important role therapy animals play in supporting recovery and emotional wellness. However, therapy animals are not permitted in our facilities unless they are participating in an approved CompDrug program or event.
