Abstract
Abstract Recovery from substance use disorder (SUD) can be conceptualized as a personal journey that includes connection with self and others, as well as animals - known as the human-animal bond (HAB). Research shows that canines are the most common type of animal integrated into animal-assisted interventions to support people with SUD and that there is growing acknowledgement of companion animals in the lives of people with SUD. To address this gap, the objective of this scoping review was to examine the literature on the role of the human-canine bond with respect to recovery from SUD among adolescents and adults, including how the bond may help or hinder recovery.
