COVID-19 and Addiction: Real Stories and Practical Advice

Remember most of addiction medicine has really continued. And I would have to say the difference between rural and the twin cities, I think right now is we're not getting a lot of new people and they seem to be patients, may be very vulnerable at this time, and we do have the tools to treat, to prevent other harm from all of these different substances.
How has the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the landscape of substance use disorders? Dr. Heather Bell and Dr. Kurt DeVine from 'The Addiction Connection' tackle this pressing issue head-on. In this episode, they are joined by Dr. Charlie Reznikoff, who shares his expert perspective on managing substance use disorders during these challenging times. Jeannie Thompson, director of youth programming and outreach at the Women’s Shelter in Rochester, sheds light on the spike in domestic violence cases during lockdowns.
The conversation wraps up with Joe Hellie and Dr. John Hick from the Homeland Security and Emergency Management state incident command center, providing crucial updates on emergency responses and strategies. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, offering not just insights but practical advice to navigate these turbulent times.
