NIDA. People With SUDs Have Increased Risk for COVID-19 and Worse Outcomes

This Study reported;

People with a

+ substance use disorder (SUD) at any time in their lives are 1.5 times more likely to contract COVID-19 than those without an SUD, and those with a recent SUD are more than 8 times more likely. 

+ People with opioid use disorder (OUD) and African Americans are at particularly high risk for COVID-19. 

+ COVID-19 patients with SUDs are more likely to require hospitalization and to die from COVID-19 than those without SUD, with patients with OUD and African American patients at greatest risk.
