Contracting Covid-19 at Rehab

During rehab, it is essential to help individuals recover from their addiction and keep them alive.

Each individual will most certainly have different needs for their recovery and health from the virus. + Therefore, what happens to a person at treatment if they acquire the covid-19 virus is dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

What Do The Experts Say About Covid-19 and Addiction?
The American Society of Addiction Medicine explains how the demographic of an addict increases their risk for contracting the coronavirus. They describe their research in detail.
People with substance use disorders are at higher risk for COVID-19 infections and serious sequelae than the general population. In addition, a higher risk is well-known to occur in populations residing in congregate housing, which can include residential and inpatient levels of care and housing programs serving people with addiction. Insufficient vaccine acceptance may promote additional virus variants and persistent transmission and illness, placing patients with addiction and providers at ongoing risk of infection. Addiction treatment clinicians and programs play key roles in promoting access to and uptake of COVID-19 vaccine. (ASAM)
