During COVID-19, drug overdose deaths increased in the United States. Many reasons could have contributed to this: isolation, fear of the virus, anxiety, depression. However, even before COVID-19, barriers existed that prevented people from getting help. To some, there is a stigma that those who have a substance abuse problem and need treatment have self-inflicted this crisis or are somehow not deserving of our compassion. Showing compassion and support for those who are struggling with addiction and make the decision to get help can help aid in their recovery and break that barrier.
