USA (PRWEB) March 05, 2015 -- Kevin Batsford lost his brother in a tragic fire, made possible by the grips of drug addiction. The siblings frequented bridges, highways, and obscure solitudes to panhandle to support their habits, and to seek refuge during the night. Batsford said that is only waking thoughts surrounded using drugs, without consideration for his outward appearance, hygiene, or overall well being- outside of the presence of addictive substances. CNY Central reported on Feb. 23rd that Batsford left behind three daughters to pursue life on the streets. After the tragic loss of his brother, Batsford decided to get help, and a local chef, who runs a local kitchen serving the homeless, helped him to his feet and provided him with the emotional support necessary for him to make the steps to get his own apartment.
Overlooked in most affairs, the homeless are often ignored by the public as they roam the streets begging for money. Redressing the state of homelessness is critical to providing neglected drug and alcohol addiction treatment to those who are forgotten by the majority. Most homeless persons suffer from substance abuse; addiction is both and cause, and an effect of the state of being homeless. In Batsford’s case, homelessness was the result of his addiction- yet for some, addiction is a way of self medicating the overwhelming emotions of anger, guilt, depression, and the continual anxiety of being homeless. There are also a number of homeless who are battling undiagnosed ailments that the addiction treatment industry calls “dual diagnosis-” wherein victims of substance use disorders also suffer from untreated mental illnesses.
