• Addiction Treatment During COVID-19
• Due to the fear of becoming infected with the
  virus, some people are afraid to enter alcohol or
  drug rehab during COVID-19. However, every
  leading rehab Centre is taking all the necessary
  precautions to ensure patient safety. We are
  doing the same. 
• Professionals ask clients about the symptoms of
  COVID-19 and if they come close in contact with
  anyone who may have the disease before the
  treatment process. In most cases, the experts ask
  patients to undergo a coronavirus test before
  entering the rehab program. And while their
  health status is evaluated, a period of
  quarantine may be warranted too.
• Even residents are provided with masks and
  personal sanitizers, and it is mandatory to wear
  masks during sessions.
• Besides, Patients who are already in rehab are
  being monitored and screened for COVID symptoms.
  If in case there is any symptom, they are
  quarantined to prevent the spread of the virus.
  Also, to reduce the risk of COVID spread,
  Inpatient rehab Centers have limited visitors.
  Proper cleaning has been implemented primarily on
  doorknobs, light switches, elevator buttons, and
  countertops. Sanitizers are readily available to
  visitors. It is strictly ordered to maintain at
  least 6 feet distance between people. Group
  sessions are kept to under 8-10 candidates only.
• With all such measures, alcohol addiction
  treatment facilities and rehab Centres make sure
  treatment can continue safely.
• Questions to Ask If You are About to Join
• If you are still not sure to join. Dont rush
  into any decision.

• Perhaps ask yourself, and the rehab you are
  thinking of joining is whether theyre following
  the proper government-advised precautions to
  struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic or not.
• Of course, every medical facility must be aware
  of the signs of COVID-19 and equipped with
  knowledge of how to prevent its spread on an
  individual and broad level. So, when contacting a
  rehab for you or your loved one, make sure to ask
  about what steps they are taking to prevent the
  spread of the novel coronavirus on their
  premises.
• Is rehab performing the screening process for the
  novel coronavirus before admission?
• Are they enforcing sanitary measures?
• Are they executing hand-washing?
• Do staff, and patients get screened daily for
  symptoms of COVID-19?
• Is the facility ready with proper emergency
  protocols if someone happens to contract the
  virus?
• Is there any staff available to help with any
  possible health complications?
• If Not Now, Then When?
• COVID-19 or not, you should never avoid asking
  for help for the addiction-related issue. Sure,
  it is usually never easy to do, but rather
  something essential to do. Hence, before the
  problem gets worse, seek out professional help.
