The first use I'd recommend would be as a step-down in intensive care from an RTC. It would be persons who've been to a regional treatment centre, who have been very severely mentally ill, and who are now going to a less intensive facility but not back into the general population. Some of those people, if they're nearing the end of their sentence or able to be paroled, may very well go right out of the intermediate facility into the community. They're still mentally ill or have a serious substance abuse problem, and they probably then need to go out into the kind of facility you mentioned that's in Montreal.
