Finding Online Resources for Addiction & Recovery During a Pandemic
Many people who are in recovery or seeking sobriety rely on local resources like 12-step support groups, SMART recovery meetings and similar organizations focused on addiction recovery. Because of concerns surrounding the contagious nature of COVID-19, many of these meetings can no longer be held in person.
Daily or weekly meetings provide many people with a sense of structure and help them to continue long-term sobriety. With all the potentially triggering situations surrounding the pandemic, recovery meetings are perhaps more important than ever. Fortunately, most addiction recovery groups have successfully transitioned to online platforms that can help provide the same sense of community and ongoing support. The following are just a few of the many online groups that people in recovery can become a part of.
We can help answer your questions and talk through any concerns.
