Economic Struggle and Addiction
You are not alone if you are experiencing stress over losing your job or being laid off during the crisis. If you have not yet received your stimulus check from the government, you can follow up on it here. If you are struggling to make credit card or house payments, contact your lender. There are programs in place to allow them to postpone your payments. If you are falling behind on your rent and worried about being evicted, the Utah State Bar has a number of resources to help you here.
Social Isolation and Addiction
Community support – the close connections of family and friends – are often the lifeline that keeps an addict in recovery. Since the pandemic began, there has been a significant increase in alcohol sales as well as an increase in the number of drug overdoses. Over the last several months of the pandemic, there have been escalating numbers of overdoses – up more than 40%. To help combat the isolation, be sure to reach out to people over Zoom or Skype, and attend our alumni Zoom meetings every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. MST.
If You’ve Experienced a Relapse
