Tired of turning away addicts because of a COVID-19 diagnosis, CEO of Granite Recovery Centers Eric Spofford announced a specialized unit this week for those confirmed with the virus.
As of Thursday evening, 15 patients with coronavirus were being treated in isolation at Granite Recovery Center’s Green Mountain Treatment Center in Effingham.
The CEO, whose recovery centers have a presence locally in Salem and Derry, calls it “an enormous need.”
Spofford emphasized the important role played by infectious disease experts and patient safety officers from Elliot Hospital, as well as members of his staff who volunteered to pivot full-time to the new COVID unit.
