COVID-19: Online and Remote Resources for Addiction Support

We know how important it is to have support during this uncertain time. We are here for you, and our free and confidential helpline services continue to be available.

As family members, we find ourselves on a parallel path with our loved ones – whether they are in active addiction or on the recovery journey. While addiction thrives in isolation, connectedness nurtures recovery. We enhance our emotional, social and spiritual wellness by surrounding ourselves with others who understand us because they share our journey.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse has put together information on the potential implications of this pandemic on those who struggle with substance use disorder. The social distancing that is required during this COVID-19 outbreak has put a strain on families impacted by addiction. Self-imposed isolation can disconnect us from the very tools that keep us resilient and strong, making us vulnerable to fear.

Fortunately, we live in a digital age where we have so many ways to connect electronically. This includes everything from e-mail to texting as well as internet message boards, social media platforms, video conferencing and an array of podcasts to name a few.

We offer an online support community, hosted by specially trained parent coach facilitators and clinicians. There is no cost to join and the meetings offer support for parents struggling with a child’s substance use amid this time of increased stress and isolation.
