The opioid crisis and COVID-19 pandemic are intersecting and presenting challenges.

The opioid crisis and COVID-19 pandemic are presenting challenges for families and communities. Opioid use affects respiratory and pulmonary health which may make those with opioid use disorders more susceptible to COVID-19. This has led to an increased need for health care and public health resources dedicated to supporting vulnerable patients and addressing the underlying causes of these trends.
