Are there no rehab units in the area?

There are rehab units in the Fraser Valley, but the person addicted need to want to go to one, can't generally force someone into rehab. They do exist though, I met several addicts in the hospital in Abbotsford who were waiting for beds in a rehab facility to become available.

Not sure how much red tape there is for someone who can't pay for rehab to get into one, but I do know there is some government assistance available if one qualifies.
