here in Vancouver there is a Lifering meeting in two in-patient treatment centres, and another in a "daytox" centre, i.e. outpatient.
these came about because of some very determined LR people who put a lot of effort into contacting the centres and offering a presentation to the staff and , later, clientele.
this was a lot of work. i know the people who did it. it took a lot of planning.

and because LR is not terrifically well-established yet, yes, concern about access to meetings after leaving the treatment centre is a valid one.
as might well be the fact that LR in fact has no program and is no program.
which is, equally, its draw and its drawback. depending on your pov.

if people want LR meetings/options in rehab centres, those who have used LR as support need to give back and make that happen by putting in the footwork.
many rehabs are actually very interested in having choices for peer support they can offer their patients/clients.
