If “everything” was online before COVID-19, today, everything really
is online. We are operating in a domain that in the past was considered outside of the accepted norms of treatment for mental health and addiction; today it is the only way we can operate due to a pandemic that has changed our world, our country, and the fabric of our society.
The surge of alcohol use and opioid related disorders due to COVID-19’s enforced isolation has created the need for greater awareness of on-line resources for recovery ranging from treatment options online to recovery community platforms to support on-going sobriety.This webinar will give social workers an understanding of:- The distinction between recovery “applications” and interactive participatory platforms;
- Telemedicine for recovery including “Treatment” and “Intensive Outpatient Programs”;
- Learning about the pioneers in interactive platforms;
- Learning about the leading platforms for recovery;
- Pro’s and Con’s of “Digital Recovery”;
- Availability, access, and the “social media” argument
- What will the future hold?
