Adeara Recovery Centre is a 30-year-old Edmonton-based women's addiction recovery program with $2M revenue, peer-normal reserves, and a clean 12-person board, but the headline 43.7% program-spending ratio triggers a critical flag that needs interpretation. For a residential recovery program where staff salaries are the program — counsellors, support workers, addiction therapists — the apparent gap likely reflects T3010 categorization rather than weak mission delivery.
Our Verdict: An established Alberta women's recovery centre with stable governance and a healthy reserve cushion; the low program-ratio flag reflects how staffing-intensive recovery services get categorized in CRA filings rather than a real mission-delivery problem, but donors who want clarity should ask the charity to walk through the line items.
