Job Description

Adeara is a long-term, residential recovery program for women. We help women in addiction create lasting change through our accredited, faith-based program.

• Our vision is to see women in addiction experience freedom through a life of recovery.
• Our mission is to empower and equip women to live in sustainable recovery through hope, healing, and restoration by providing long-term, faith-based programming, counselling, and life skills support.
• Our values are serving women and their children with love, compassion, dignity, respect, integrity and accountability.

Our program is designed to walk with women through the process of finding hope, healing and restoration. We believe the recovery journey is a lifelong process, and while the journey begins at Adeara, it does not end upon the completion of the one-year program - we continue to walk with women beyond the scope of the residential program as they continue to pursue a life of recovery.
