The COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench into many aspects of our lives, but for those in recovery, it was a particularly challenging time. Human connection, face-to-face meetings, and open vulnerability are cornerstones of the recovery process. But when the world shut down in early 2020, these vital components were abruptly taken away. In this episode, Sam and Dr. Wilson from Sabino Recovery discuss how they navigated these unprecedented times to keep their residents safe and healthy.
They dive into the shift to online meetings, which many found less effective, and the increased substance use among healthcare workers and first responders. The duo also touches on the rise in substance use among people with clinical anxiety, highlighting how isolation and pandemic-related stress worsened existing mental health conditions.
If you're curious about how recovery communities adapted during the pandemic or if you're looking for insights into maintaining sobriety in challenging times, this episode offers a thoughtful and empathetic look at resilience and adaptation.
