Addiction Recovery And Social Distancing

What is recovery during social distancing? Founders of Desert Solace, Mark and Jeri Jorgensen, believe that “the opposite of addiction is connection.”

Jerri Jorgensen explains in an interview that, “[recovery means] connection to themselves; recognizing who they are at their core.” Jorgensen specifies that recovery includes, “connection with our loved ones, with our spouses, with our kids.”

With recent events asking people to stay-at-home and social distance when going out from the state and local governments, a connection can be hard to obtain during these dark times. We can’t connect like we used to with people and within our community. This can be more difficult and dangerous for those who are trying to recover from addictions; isolation can be harmful for them.

Addictions doesn’t have to be something like pornography, but common addictions such as health crisis, financial issues, stress, and isolation. It can be challenging to find and stay on the road to recovery when someone doesn’t have a support network while social distancing.

Desert Solace’s goal—especially during these dark times—is to help and strengthen addictions that people are battling every day and every hour. 

“Reach out for help,” is what Jerri Jorgensen asks listeners in an interview for those who struggle with addictions. She continues, “[People struggling with addiction or their family members] can call me, I can suggest a place to go. I can suggest good therapists. Or just good resources.”

Mark Jorgensen had his journey battling pornography addiction, which was the reason why Desert Solace was created so the couple can help others with their addictions.

Communication and being vulnerable with one another are a couple core values that had helped Mark and Jerri to the road to recovery.

Because of their core values, Desert Solace focuses on strengthening communication with groups or therapy sessions, and twice-a-week the alumni have teleconferencing sessions after the treatment is done.

Even though we have to stay-at-home and practice social distancing when the person wants help in recovery, Jerri and Mark hope their journey can help others.

“If you call and you’re not even thinking about residential treatment,” Jorgensen said, “we’re still really good resources. Because we’ve both been there. We’ve lived it.”
