COST
What a stay costs here.
Ask the service for their current figure.
We hold what this service publishes, and we do not put a price at the top of a profile for the public to sort on. The cheapest service on a page is rarely the right one for a particular person, and a quote that comes with the conversation about what is included is worth more than a band. Professional referrers see the figures in their workspace.
Funding this service accepts
Client contribution, Commonwealth funded, Corrections funded, State funded

- What is the total for the length of stay you are recommending?
