In a country where around 1 in 13 people need treatment for substance use disorder, the coronavirus pandemic has created a perfect storm of risk for those in the fragile state of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. The necessary self-isolation, social distancing and increased anxiety of day-to-day life goes against the prevailing wisdom to engage, get close, share, and communicate. A recovering addict faces the cancellation of face-to-face group therapy sessions that are so critical in nurturing sobriety, as social distancing is difficult in a room shared by a leader and other participants. Face masks made of cloth, bandannas or scarves hide facial expressions, so critical in sensing empathy, compassion and love. Eye-contact is important, but without a smile, grin or frown, people can be hard to read.
For many residents of inpatient rehabilitation centers or group recovery residences, also known as “sober homes,” worries about postponed therapy sessions pale in significance to the looming threat of eviction. Although state and local officials around the country have imposed moratoriums on residential evictions during this state of emergency, the question remains: What happens to people in drug treatment or sober living housing when they can no longer afford to pay?
The answer is, it depends. First, if the individual is in a detox center or inpatient rehab facility where treatment takes place, residential treatment will continue as long as insurance keeps paying. But since these are considered medical facilities, patients can indeed be discharged for non-payment. State laws and local emergency orders may differ, but in general, a moratorium on residential evictions will not protect a patient living in a treatment center whose insurance runs out or who fails to self-pay, as landlord-tenant laws simply do not apply.
It’s a different matter if an individual is living in a sober home, where no treatment is provided. Insurance does not provide reimbursement at such residences because they are just group homes where individuals in recovery live together. Residents of these homes generally receive protection under landlord-tenant laws for failure to pay rent during this state of emergency. These protections are important during this challenging time, since many sober home residents subsist on income from jobs in the service economy, which has been especially hard hit by the economic by-product of the COVID-19 pandemic. In normal times, landlord-tenant laws could require a sober home to go through the formal, time-consuming process of court-ordered eviction for a resident’s nonpayment of rent, but temporary moratoriums on residential evictions now apply during this state of emergency. In addition to state and local moratoriums on evictions, the federal CARES Act enacted a sweeping 120-day prohibition against evictions to protect non-paying tenants of properties financed with federally backed multifamily mortgage loans.
Things are different for sober home residents who relapse and use drugs, however. These individuals may be evicted despite the moratoriums, as such conduct puts them and other vulnerable housemates at risk. In 2019, the Florida Legislature recognized the importance of protecting residents and staff of recovery residences from the introduction of drugs into the home by passing legislation specifically allowing for an eviction when it is necessary for the health and safety of the resident or others living or working in the home. This exemption from traditional landlord-tenant law requires that the recovery residence be certified and have a discharge policy approved by the credentialing entity. In Florida, the approved certifying agency is the Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), which mandates that its certified sober homes ensure that the resident being removed is not simply thrown out onto the street. Since these are vulnerable individuals in a fragile state of recovery, sober homes are required to seek alternative living arrangements and referrals to inpatient treatment for any evicted resident.
All this leads to a final question: how long can legitimate sober homes survive without rental income? Certified recovery residences do not receive referral income from treatment providers. That would constitute illegal patient brokering. The sober home business is not especially profitable and homes are normally run by individuals in recovery themselves whose primary motivation is to give back to the community. Rent is the primary, if not the only, source of income for these homes. Without rental income, many, if not most, of the good homes will cease to exist.
As a small business, recovery residences are eligible for state and federal financial assistance. This may only be a temporary salve, however, as the typical sober home owner lacks the deep pockets to keep going without a steady source of income. Thus, the greatest challenge for individuals in recovery may not be eviction, but the financial collapse of their only source of housing during a time when the healthcare system is overburdened and the economy is dormant. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to dominate the national conversation, let us not forget about its impact on the vulnerable population at the center of our previous health care crisis: the millions of Americans who continue to battle substance use disorder in an opioid epidemic that is now overshadowed, but never went away.

April 27, 2020
Frontline healthcare workers in the battle against COVID-19 were once pre-professional students, many filled with a sense of awe and passion for their chosen field of healthcare. They work shoulder to shoulder as physicians, nurses and physical therapists, in the ER, ICU and wards, supported by myriad equally compassionate support staff, managing the physical and mental manifestations of this viral infection. For many, the aspiration to be healers, to treat the victims of disease and injury with safe, compassionate and quality healthcare was all consuming. Some envisioned a life in which they became part of the solution in the never-ending human struggle against public health calamities. None could have foreseen the novel coronavirus pandemic that started in Wuhan, China in 2019 and continues to sweep the globe months later.
The Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 came and went, infecting an estimated 500 million people worldwide, with the diseases caused by the H1N1 virus killing an estimated 20 million to 50 million in its wake. Pre-professionals today, eager to enter medical, nursing or physical schools soon, are faced with another pandemic, this time affecting them in the here and now.
The World Health Organization has now published guidance regarding using antibody testing as an immunity passport to reengage society, reenter the workplace, and relax social and physical distancing standards. They caution that merely identifying antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus is not a passport to reopen the world. WHO state, “There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection.” That statement was found to be confusing and quickly retracted, and a second posting clarified that the scientific community does not know enough yet regarding immunity to subsequent infection to make blanket statements. The WHO postings come on the heels of learning that a sizeable percentage of people infected with COVID-19 are asymptomatic, or minimally symptomatic, and are contagious during the early days after inoculation and infection with the virus.
What an ironic time to be studying biology, thinks Jackie Phillips, 36-year-old English teacher, mom, and more mature than average pre-med student, as she kneels in the rich, black dirt of their chicken coop and scoops eggs from under a hen. Am I a lunatic for still planning on med school, even with this crisis going on? A 39-year-old healthy man just died from COVID-19, and he hasn’t been the only young one. Doctors and nurses working in emergency departments, ICUs and hospital wards are contracting the disease right and left, and some of them have died. Is this passion to attend medical school fair to my three children, still in school themselves?
It’s an unusual paradox, studying to enter a field where the sick being saved may inadvertently pass their infectious disease to their physicians, nurses and physical therapists. The fields of epidemiology, virology and infectious diseases have become intriguing scientific and clinical fields reserved for the academic elite. Pre-professional healthcare students across the country must be seeing an entire world of science and medicine open-up before their eyes. It’s not every day that the minutiae of college biology classes immediately help to understand a current global pandemic. Just this week the Scripps Research Institute in Jackie’s hometown reported they may have a lead on a COVID-19 vaccine.
Jackie’s pre-med studies are oddly keeping pace with the explosion of scientific information blasted out through the media. Pre-med studies have never been more exciting and relevant.
Back on the home front, back to reality for Jackie, she is leaving the coop, eggs folded in her shirt as she sees a dirty head pop out of a freshly dug hole in the backyard. “What are you doing?” she asks her tween-aged daughter. “You have an algebra Zoom in five minutes. Take a shower and get back to school.” Jackie looks down at her own mud-caked knees and thinks, this is such a weird time.
Jackie thinks about the images on Facebook of the nurses and doctors in Italy and New York. You know, the selfies of their face-mask bruises. It makes her feel guilty. She doesn’t wear a mask because she is not out in the public. Instead, she’s safely isolated at home with her family, and good health, while those frontline heroes are exhausted and sometimes infected. It doesn’t seem fair.
Sliding open the back door to the house, she sees her two young boys are stick-fighting next to their open laptops and leftover scrambled eggs. And as Gerald, the rooster, crows behind her, this quarantine-era pre-med mom knows she’s stepping off the farm and into the human zoo.
Everyone has their own story during this time. We keep hearing about the healthcare workers struggling to save lives on the frontline. We know of first responders arriving at homes to find deceased victims of COVID-19, who died alone and lonely, cordoned off from friends and family. It is crucial we do not lose perspective on the fragility of life in this time of pandemic.
Pre-meds and pre-nursing students must now consider their choices through the present-day lens of a pandemic, rather than just reading about Spanish Flu, polio, smallpox, HIV/AIDS and Ebola.

Even in a pandemic, or in a natural disaster, or just doing a house-call, one human tending to the health needs of another is like no other human endeavor.
Haley, a young Doctor of Physical Therapy realizes that she and her colleagues are the only source of human contact for their patients, most of whom are elderly and at-risk. She is aware of the perfect storm: beach-loving spring-breakers who have recently flocked to Florida, thereby potentially increasing community-spread of COVID-19 to the expansive population of elderly with underlying health conditions sequestered in the confines of skilled nursing and assisted-living facilities. Sometimes the older folks are living in the home of their children, with tweeners, teens, and spring-breakers creating a clear and present threat of bringing SARS-CoV-2 into the home. The perfect COVID-19 storm.
“Due to the required isolation and restriction on visitors,” Haley said, “we as healthcare workers are now the patient’s only in-person interaction, for days or weeks on end. We no longer allow patients to have any visitors. At times, we have led guests to see the patients outside their windows to visit through the glass. This is always hard, as a lot of the time the patient has already been in the hospital for weeks without visitors, and now they might be feeling better and are still unable to see their friends or family while they recover. This has made me even more aware of the responsibility healthcare workers have to provide emotional support when needed.”
Haley’s professional role, and that of other PTs is not confined to physical rehabilitation. During this time of isolation, her patients deeply need the human interaction they get with her. She said that the next generation of physical therapists, those in pre-physical therapy college courses now, will be well-served to take a good look in the mirror, and be sure they have the compassion needed to be as much behavior therapist and confidant as musculoskeletal recovery specialists.
Haley’s husband, CJ, was a pre-PT student just last year. He has now completed his first-year of physical therapy school and longs for in-person patient interaction right now. Like other schools across the United States, his program has been 100% virtualized due to the coronavirus epidemic, with frustrating consequences similar for most medical, nursing and physical therapy students during this time.
“What is missing is real world application of the concepts we are learning,” CJ said. “Physical therapy requires proficiency with manual/physical techniques, but right now we have to learn through a computer without any hands-on experience. Our first clinical rotation experience, where we were supposed to learn what it is like being a working PT, was canceled as a result of COVID-19. Now, that experience has been moved to an online Zoom meeting twice a week. While teachers are trying to do their best to supplement the loss of learning, there is no doubt that we are missing valuable professional experience.”
In hands-on healthcare fields, like medicine, nursing and physical therapy, social isolation has created the need for resourceful solutions. Technology has yet to realistically simulate authentic human interaction.
Back at The Phillips Zoo, Jackie’s middle son is typing a response on Google Classroom to the prompt, “Give an example of an essential business and describe what makes it essential,” her oldest daughter is singing “Happy Birthday” over Zoom, while the choir director tries in vain to synchronize fifty virtual voices, and her littlest boy is chasing a bunny rabbit that was brought into the house, unbeknownst to mom, as it runs in circles around the couch.
Pre-meds, pre-nursing, pre-physical therapy and every other college student aspiring to a career in healthcare may be re-assessing their decisions. As a physician with over thirty years of clinical experience, which spans the HIV/AIDS epidemic that threatened his surgical training program in Miami in the eighties, years of experience in the military, and countless patients with every imaginable disorder, Dr. Campbell would tell every one of those young, and not-so-young pre-professionals to buckle up for the most fulfilling ride of your life. Being a healthcare professional is the singular most rewarding career on the planet. Whether a pandemic, hurricane, social, economic or family crisis, hurdles to be met with resilience, there is no better career than one in which one human tends to the health needs of another.
