Last year’s skyrocketing overdose rates raised alarms in the United States of America. Statistics show that the increase may directly or indirectly relate to the COVID-19 pandemic. It appears the coronavirus pandemic made the overdose issues in the nation worse than ever.
Losing a friend or family is distressing. The pain can be severe and seemingly unbearable. When you’re in recovery, that pain may appear to be more traumatic. It can leave you in despair, shock, or anger. For this reason, you may have a hard time trying to figure out how to react while in recovery. It’s advisable and helpful to deal with grief appropriately to avoid relapse.
Addiction may cause severe pain and discomfort for the individuals struggling and loved ones. The signs and symptoms of the condition may be mild to severe. For this reason, it’s imperative to get immediate and appropriate medical treatment for substance use disorder.
