This is such a stressful time. This has to just really make things a little bit more stressful. On your end, doctor, why don't you start sure?
Imagine trying to stay sober while the world is in lockdown. That's exactly what many people faced during the pandemic, and it's the focus of this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters'. Host Maria Shilaos sits down with Dr. Eric Barker and Counselor Charlotte Prather from the Intermountain Dayspring Clinic in Logan to discuss the unique challenges that come with recovery during such stressful times.
They dive into how the heightened levels of stress and fear due to COVID-19 have made it even harder for those recovering from substance misuse to stay on track. The conversation doesn't just stop at identifying the problem. Maria, Dr. Barker, and Charlotte share practical coping strategies to help you or your loved ones navigate these tough times. From the importance of staying socially connected—even if it's virtually—to the hurdles of virtual peer support groups, they cover it all.
You'll also hear about creative ways to maintain support systems, like using message boards and text messaging. The episode underscores how crucial peer support is in addiction recovery and highlights various resources available to those in need. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice to help manage substance misuse during quarantine.
