VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 29, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​Sunshine Coast Health Centre (SCHC), considered one of the best non-12-step drug rehab and alcohol treatment programs in British Columbia, Canada, is excited to announce a series of new posts comparing the Canadian response to COVID-19 to the response to the opioid crisis. The posts are "food for thought" for citizens and decision-makers in Canada as they work together to outline logical strategies for better public health across Canada.
"COVID-19 is a serious issue and we support any and all evidence-based efforts to mitigate this terrible pandemic," explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer. "In our blog posts, we overview and compare the response to COVID-19 to the response to the ongoing opioid crisis. Both deserve a thoughtful, science-based response from our public authorities and stakeholders."
Interested persons can read the posts as follows. First, there's "A Tale of Two Public Health Emergencies: A Comparison of the Opioid Overdose Crisis and COVID-19 Pandemic" by Daniel Jordan at https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/blog/a-tale-of-two-public-health-emergencies-a-comparison-of-the-opioid-overdose-crisis-and-covid-19-pandemic/. That post digs into the two crises and compares the impact and response. A second post is "COVID-19 is an Opportunity to Address the Pandemic of Loneliness" by Daniel Jordan as well at https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/blog/covid-19-is-an-opportunity-to-address-the-pandemic-of-loneliness/. That post explains how an "epidemic of loneliness" afflicts many Canadians and, unfortunately, many turn to drugs and alcohol as a form of "self-medication." In both cases, Canadian society would be well-served by focusing on the long-term problems of drugs, alcohol, PTSD, and trauma, even as it prioritizes efforts to mitigate COVID-19.
Finally, persons who want to dig deeper into these issues can read the Centre's lively blog at https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/blog/. And women who suffer from these issues can visit the Centre's sister website at https://georgiastraitwomensclinic.ca/, which offers best-in-class therapy options for Canadian women.
