Social distancing and other restrictions mean people in recovery have an added barrier in their efforts to stay drug and alcohol free. Regular meetings with others and one-on-one face time are among the tools people rely on to avoid relapsing. In addition, some addictions put people in a higher risk category for developing serious COVID-19 complications. We’ll talk with Native specialists to hear how what solutions are helping prevent relapse during the prolonged emergency.
Guests:
Sharyl White Hawk (Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians) – addictions counselor for Kahunsi Onikan
Randall Sam (Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe) – peer recovery specialist
Corin La Pointe-Aichison (Koyoukon Athabascan) – associate attorney at Galenda Broadman
