Private funding options:

If a government-funded bed is not available right away, or you don’t qualify for income assistance, we also have several private pay beds. Access to these beds is much quicker because the majority of our clients are waiting for government funded beds. With the right funding, you can get into a private pay bed almost immediately. All of the beds include the same quality of care and program.

Private pay beds are funded through your own means or private insurance companies such as Great West Life or Canada Life. You may be able to get coverage through your workplace insurance.
