  David M. asked:

  Anyone have info on the process for putting someone in Rehab? Locations, process and costs?? Not local person but I need advice on how to help a friend. Websites or contacts would be appreciated

  

  Debra J. replied:

  Cost - covered by social assistance once a bed is confirmed. If not on social assistance, you can get it temporarily for treatment purposes as long as you can't afford it. 1-866-866-0800 Process - call the treatment facility and ask if they have a bed available and if so, show up. Treatment is voluntary so the person entering will have to call, although you can call to get info and lay the groundwork. This one has a good rep and is outside of the DTES, which can be a trigger for some. There are also second stage houses in the lower mainland as well as PG if they are a local that wants to come home after. Best of luck to them!
