More help is on the way for older adults in Thunder Bay (Ontario, Canada) who are struggling to beat addiction.
St. Joseph's Care Group has been chosen as a test site for an in-house substance abuse and gambling treatment program. Spokesperson Nancy Black says the Sister Margaret Smith Centre is one of four across the province that have been chosen to host the pilot project. The program is available to all Ontario residents. Black says a list of clients has already been compiled and the first program is expected to begin next month.
There are two levels of treatment. One is a 21-day substance abuse/ problem gambling program, while the other is an intensive 10-day gambling treatment program.
