Frequently Asked Questions
How long is your waitlist?
All applications to Adeara’s program are triaged based on suitability for the program, to determine if an applicant’s needs are aligned with our recovery program. All applications are processed immediately. Once triaged, applicants can expect to be contacted for a phone interview, pending availability of an open bed in the program.
Applicants should be ready to be accepted to the program, when considering to apply to the program, as a bed may become available immediately. Adeara seeks to support women with severe addictions, who are ready for change, and ready to commit to the recovery process.
How many kids can I have in my care at Adeara?
Usually, women will have up to two children, but occasionally Adeara can accommodate up to three children on a case-by-case basis. It depends on the physical space in the suite available, as well as space in our transportation vehicles for programming.
Can I be on methadone or suboxone while at Adeara?
Adeara allows clients to be on Suboxone and Sublocade in the recovery program.
Methadone is not permitted in the program.
Can my kids come with me to Adeara right away?
Our Clinical Team determines readiness for children to transition into their mother’s care, based on a number of factors. Typically, a stabilization period of 30 to 60 days is required before children are in full-time care of the mother.
Who pays for the program?
Our goal is to make our programming accessible to all; so, we have created a funding structure that helps eliminate out-of-pocket pricing.
Adeara clients are put on income support through Alberta Works (if they are not already on another form of funding, ie. AISH, EI, Income Support) to cover a basic monthly rent (see application for current rates). This will help cover the cost of your suite, but does not cover the full cost of Adeara’s recovery program. The rest of the cost is covered by the generous donations of Adeara supporters, Adeara fundraisers and any received grants.
Are clients able to work during treatment?
No. Clients are required to attend full-time in-depth programming while at Adeara.
Am I able to have my car at Adeara?
No. Transportation will be provided to you when needed, or public transit will be available.
Can I bring my pet?
No, due to Alberta Health Regulations.
