Substance abuse and recovery
 

This pandemic has significantly increased relapse and addiction across the world.  Particularly in Virginia. Recovery can come in many forms but counseling is a huge part of it all. Due to covid, groups and counseling are few and far between.  This and MAT programs are so hard to find now days.  This is going to cripple our state.  Finding good health care is hard to find now days.  Many of these mat programs only allow cash so those with insurance that can't afford $200-$500 a month are put in a bad situation.
