'It's essential': Nearly 200 beds part of B.C.'s $1B investment in mental health, addiction treatment

B.C. Premier David Eby announced Thursday more specifics about the provincial government’s $1-billion investment in mental health supports, including an additional 195 treatment and recovery beds for people addicted to drugs and those suffering from mental illness, or both.

The $1 billion in support was included in the 2023 budget, which will run a deficit of $4.2 billion, following a $5-billion surplus last year. The beds will be placed throughout the province and follow the model of Coquitlam’s Red Fish Healing Centre Assessment and Stabilization Unit. Red Fish offers treatment for concurrent disorders and includes research and education and virtual health services.
