The results of the study appear to echo the many state and government conducted research (included below). The Recovery Village went a step further, and we were able to identify:

• 55% reported an increase in past-month alcohol consumption, with 18% reporting a significant increase
• 36% reported an increase in illicit drug use

The participants were asked why they were prompted to use substances within the last month. Of the respondents:

• 53% were trying to cope with stress
• 39% were trying to relieve boredom
• 32% were trying to cope with mental health symptoms, such as anxiety or depression
