MD Dept of Health: The COVID-19 pandemic is a significant societal stressor that can affect anyone who is in recovery, or seeking recovery. We encourage people in recovery to stay connected to treatment resources, even if their treatment/support/recovery programs are either closed or offering reduced support. This can be a very vulnerable time for people in recovery, as it is for those who are not.
