As we pivot and go into a new phase of the pandemic and communities across the country begin opening up, new, never-before-seen challenges for those in recovery will continue to emerge.
When the world came to a standstill due to COVID-19, addiction recovery programs faced an unprecedented challenge. This episode of Cover 2 Resources dives into how the AnchorEd initiative in Rhode Island adapted to these trying times. Originally designed to connect peer recovery coaches with overdose victims before they left the hospital, the program had to pivot quickly as lockdowns and social distancing became the new norm.
Brian Bailys, founder of Thrive Behavioral Health Center, shares the remarkable journey of how his network continued to support those in recovery through telehealth. You'll hear from Kristen, a recovering crack cocaine addict, who candidly discusses her struggles and triumphs with telehealth. Sherita also opens up about her battles with mental health care access and the stigma she faced.
This episode offers a poignant look at the resilience of those in recovery and the innovative solutions that emerged during the pandemic. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of addiction recovery in these challenging times.
