Despite the first paragraph, a place accommodating exclusively persons referred by the correctional services of Québec or Canada that is recognized by either services as a community residential centre, is not an addiction resource.
Subdivision 2.1 of Division II of Chapter I of Title I of Part III of the Act respecting health services and social services (chapter S-4.2), except sections 346.0.17.1, 346.0.17.2, 346.0.20.3 and 346.0.20.4, apply to an addiction resource, with the necessary modifications.

A resource may belong to more than one category.
