When I worked at an addiction recovery center, they had to regularly close down their detox because they couldn't get nurses. They were non-profit and paid non-profit wages so nurses from temp agencies went for higher-paying jobs and they got no support from the state to attract them. They ended up having to close the detox and change it to build the size of their in-patient facility from 13 to 26 beds. Which is great for having more residents, but put more strain on the staff and left fewer good detox options :/
