By utilizing HIPAA-compliant video conferencing and telephonic services, Brick House Recovery is providing help to addicted individuals and family members who are self-isolating due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
—
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is being felt all over the world. Many people are fighting mental illness right now, and isolation can be deadly. Financial difficulties due to job loss or a decline in business only contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Our research shows that many are turning to increased use of alcohol and prescription pills to cope at an alarming rate.
Brick House Recovery founder and CEO Jason Coombs commented, “The effects of the Coronavirus are greatly compounded for those struggling with drug addiction. We’ve seen an increase in alcohol and prescription drugs being abused as the primary coping mechanism. Equally concerning, we’re seeing a significant increase in cases of people who want and need help with their addiction but can no longer afford it because they’ve been laid off.”
Jason and his team at Brick House Recovery worked urgently to implement all the necessary coronavirus containment safety measures to ensure continued service for addicted individuals and their family members. As a result, Brick House Recovery has switched all services to an innovative TeleHealth platform for all treatment services. By utilizing HIPAA-compliant video conferencing and telephonic services, Brick House Recovery continues to offer a variety of individual and group therapy sessions. Facilitators are working diligently from their home offices providing psychiatric evaluations, Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs to clients who are isolated at home. These online sessions are helping members cope with negative emotions and cravings while building a host of friendships and support on a daily basis. “This combination of accountability and connections are the ingredients to recovery and this treatment model is proving to be successful for our Brick House clients,” reports Jason.
Drug and alcohol testing procedures are still in effect to ensure abstinence and accountability, but clients and lab workers are safe from human contact. For each drug testing appointment, the facilities are sanitized, and faculty members are in full protective gear to comply with company guidelines.
Furthermore, to help those facing financial difficulties related to COVID-19, Brick House Recovery Owner Jason Coombs is personally donating 100% of the proceeds of his bestselling book “Unhooked” into a scholarship program designed to help those who can’t afford treatment, to get the help they need.
“Because of our global situation right now, those who wrestle with substance abuse and mental illness are at great risk. However, even with the social-distancing and isolation orders, they don’t have to struggle alone. If you know someone who needs help with addiction, please call Brick House Recovery. We have centers in Boise and Idaho Falls. Together we’ll not only survive this pandemic, but we’ll be able to help set someone free from the strong bands of alcohol and drugs,” stated Coombs.
If you or someone you know needs substance abuse treatment, a copy of "Unhooked" or additional recovery resources please call 208-650-7359 or online at https://brickhouserecovery.com
