CNWL’s addictions service is advising clients to try and see the Coronavirus pandemic as an opportunity to make changes in lifestyle.

It says clients could see this as the time to:

  • reduce and eventually stop your alcohol use
  • reduce and stop your drug use (stopping your use on top; switching from injecting to smoking)

It also warns to:

  • not be tempted to share medications or switch to other drugs
  • not share equipment, needles or snorting, stay away for other people
