As part of Budget 2024, the Province is substantially boosting funding for numerous service providers who manage thousands of registered or licensed treatment and recovery beds across B.C. This increase will help essential-care providers, serving eligible individuals receiving income and disability assistance, to continue enhancing mental health and addiction treatment despite increasing cost pressures.
“This announcement is much needed for the addiction-recovery sector, which has been struggling to meet the growing needs of our clients. This is a very good news story that the government is moving forward to financially help operators of treatment and recovery homes. These increases are critically important to keep the consistency and quality of care for anyone seeking mental-health and addictions care.”
