Notes from The Ranch~Interesting Times for people with addictions-What will happen once we open again.

It is a very strange time in the history of human existence. All of us in lockdown – All of us on the entire planet are complying with a stay at home rule that has never ever happened before – ever. There has never been a time like what we are going through right now.
Lately, as a new co-founder and Exec. director of a brand new recovery house, we have come up against the Covid-19 wall. Again, we just opened on April 1st, 2020. We are located in Northern Maine, in a very secluded and wonderful environment to recover from addictions.I have been thinking about the state of play for people staying at home.
What really scares me at this moment everyone (or most people) are home and I am guessing that their addictions are not getting any better. What will happen to these folks when we come out of self-quarantine? Will folks be able to dry out, will they want to get better. As you may not know, treatment centers around Maine (The entire country) are not taking any new clients and most are closed and doing some tele-health. We have struggled to open here. We are ready and here we sit, while folks needing a safe place to recover are not getting in.
I wonder and I worry as how will this thing end. It is time to at least wonder about folks sitting at home, doing what they need to do until the country is open again.
