At this point, we all know what telemedicine is and what the benefits are. But do you know what telemedicine for substance abuse looks like? How different is it from modern telemedicine or traditional rehab services? Today, that’s what we at Direct2Recovery want to share with you.
Addiction is complicated. So many things can cause it, and so many things can’t. There are a multitude of myths and misconceptions surrounding addiction, so let’s get down to the truth. That’s what we’re addressing in today’s blog: what causes addiction. More specifically, what causes drug addiction?
One of the hardest parts of the addiction cycle is talking about addiction, especially to a loved one. It’s never easy to tell someone they need to get help, that’s why we at Direct2Recovery wanted to outline the process for you in some easy to follow tips.
Telemedicine is a relatively new concept that allows anyone to receive counseling and see a doctor without leaving their home. There are a few types of telemedicine: it can be done over the phone, over a video call, through a website portal, or in a hybrid model. However it is done, it was created to make healthcare accessible. Because of this, there are many benefits of telemedicine. However, telemedicine is not for emergency services. If you have a serious health problem, such as a heart attack, call 911 immediately.

Addiction takes hold of our brains in several ways — and is far more complex and less forgiving than many people realize. There are stages of addiction, withdrawal, and recovery. When it comes to opioids, more than 2 million Americans abuse them, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse and every day, 90 Americans die by opioid overdose.
