As the COVID-19 pandemic continues and stress over the economy grows, so too does the number of people seeking drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism. It can be easy to fall into an unhealthy routine of regular drinking or using drugs, especially if you find yourself primarily at home these days.<\/p>\n
Remember that even if you feel isolated, there’s always support out there waiting for you. For every story of addiction, it is a story of the person who was there before substance abuse took over. After that comes the story of recovery, healing and growth as they find a sober life to live any way they want.<\/p>\n
Despite treatment being more effective and accessible than ever, only around 11% of those who need help\u00a0actually receive it<\/a>.
