Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Ottawa.

Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 12 named programs at this address.

They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Ottawa cover.

Ask what the longest and the shortest version of this program looks like.
