FAQ
Admission Criteria
The ideal candidate for admission to our 70-day, intensive residential program, is an adult female totally committed to transforming her life from dependence on mood altering substances to one of long-term, healthy and productive recovery.
Those women most suitable for admission to our stabilization and transitional living program, Mollie’s House, are women who may have a need for a longer period of time to adjust to and become anchored in the recovery process. These residents, should they choose, will be afforded the opportunity to transition into the more intensive Peardonville House program.
How much does treatment cost?
- Clients on Social Assistance are covered by the Ministry of Housing and Social Development (MHSD).
- Applicants wishing to be admitted who are clients of MHSD must have an “open” file with MHSD prior to admission and must submit the Funding Verification Form to MHSD prior to admission.
- Clients who are being paid for by their employer, union or insurance company must send written confirmation of payment to Peardonville House prior to admission.
- If a client is covered through their Band, confirmation of funding must be sent to Peardonville House prior to admission.
- Self-paying clients must present a certified cheque, e-transfer or cash prior to admission.
- Mothers are also charged for each child accompanying them plus the cost of Day Care (the cost of daycare depends on the age of children). If a client receives Day Care Subsidy, it will be transferred to Peardonville House for the duration of their stay.
- If a client is on Methadone, there is an additional cost of $210 for clinic fees for the entire stay. This cost must be paid before or upon admission.
