As you may already know, SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus that causes COVID-19, is a virus that attacks the respiratory tract. While the exact fatality rate of the virus still remains unknown, it is believed to have a higher fatality rate than seasonal flu. In addition, it is possible to carry the disease without displaying symptoms, which means it can be easily and unknowingly passed from one person to the next.

Certain groups of people are at a higher risk of death if they contract COVID-19. These include those with respiratory conditions, cancer, diabetes and other underlying conditions. The same is true for the elderly or anyone with compromised lung function. Individuals who engage in certain activities, such as smoking, vaping or using other types of drugs are also at an increased risk of contracting the virus and experiencing serious complications.

Clearly, we are still learning more about COVID-19, but we at Advanced Spine & Rehab are dedicated to remaining current on this important pandemic so we can provide the most accurate information to each of our patients. If you have questions or concerns about COVID-19 or generally have medical issues that need to be addressed, contact us today to learn more about how we can help!

COVID-19 and Opioid Addiction

Site Admin — Sat, 18 Apr 2020 04:08:43 +0000

COVID-19 has been the source of great concern for Americans across the country, particularly those who are considered to be “high risk” for complications or death resulting from the virus. One high-risk category that has not received much attention, however, are those who are addicted to opioids.

While most immediately realize that smokers are at a higher risk of complications due to COVID-19, smoking is not the only drug that affects the respiratory system. In fact, people with an opioid use disorder are also at a higher risk of complications due to poor respiratory and pulmonary health. The fact that opioid abusers are also more likely to experience homelessness or to be incarcerated also increases their risk of contracting the virus.

The complications directly associated with COVID-19 are scary enough, but the situation is even worse for those who are addicted to opioids. If you suffer from addiction and you are ready to start working toward your recovery, the professionals are Advanced Spine & Rehab are here to help. By taking a holistic approach to improving your health and using suboxone to help counteract the physical aspects of addiction, we can help you begin to walk down the road to recovery.

If you have concerns about COVID-19 or if you are ready to start working toward recovering from your opioid addiction, contact Advanced Spine & Rehab today. We will be happy to answer any questions or concerns that you may have while also helping you to stay healthy and drug-free.
