Recovery Takes Support.

It’s our time as a community to change our thinking. Each of us can make an impact on addiction. Addiction is treatable with the right support. And each one of us can help make that treatment available today.

“Shame, fear, anxiety, and loneliness has made it a struggle to move forward. There was no possibility of change or growth. I have learned now that feelings and thoughts are not permanent, they shall pass. I do matter.”

Kristen

“I’ve had to overcome feeling like I’m not good enough, feeling like I’m a bad mom, and not feeling worthy of good things. I allowed the guys I was with to make me feel stupid, unworthy and not good enough. Today I know my worth.”

Kristin

“My past has haunted me and I’ve carried it around like a dirty laundry bag. I would recount the things I’ve done and rationalize that I did not deserve a better life. But every morning I realize God won’t leave me where he found me.”

How You Can Help

From covering the cost of our programming to assisting with our new centre renovations, there are many ways to support Adeara this year. Browse our areas of need below.

  • Support a Woman in Recovery

    You can help us keep recovery accessible to all. It cost $200-$250 per day last year to support one woman at Adeara, and it costs $479-685 per day for a woman to be institutionalized. 

    That $200-$250 covers her programming, counselling, support from our Life Skill Support Staff, and secure housing. By supporting a woman with children in recovery, you are helping Adeara meet our most consistent and greatest need. Every gift counts.

  • Support Adeara's Edmonton Facility

    Perhaps the least fun but also the most necessary, maintenance costs of our centre are an ongoing expense. From replacing windows to repairing appliances to refreshing suites, we work to keep Adeara in excellent shape for each resident.

    It can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 per year to provide the necessary maintenance to keep Adeara’s centre going.
