Pandemic Challenges: Substance Use Disorder and Recovery Insights with John Shinholser and David Rook

Peer recovery groups, smart recovery, different-step fellowships are out there, Aana, they're all you know they're doing their part. If we can just keep them from killing each other, they can love each other and they got a little bit of an advantage that somebody say: you know that's never had an experience with recovery but can't find it right now because you know there's not a whole lot of places.
Ever wondered how the pandemic has impacted those battling substance use disorder? In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', John Shinholser sits down with David Rook from True Recovery RVA to unpack the unique hurdles the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown at addiction recovery. They dive into the critical role of connection in early recovery and how peer recovery groups have had to adapt during these trying times.

Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about how addiction services have evolved during the pandemic, this conversation offers valuable insights and encouragement.
