Mission Statement
Our mission is to successfully treat adolescents and their families suffering from the disease of alcoholism and/or drug addiction, through a cost-effective, research based, clinically validated treatment model, and to provide current, relevant information and perspectives on adolescent chemical dependency to as many individuals and institutions as possible throughout our community.
About This Cause
The Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre (AARC) opened its doors in 1992 as a charitable non-profit organization committed to the successful treatment of adolescent addiction and believes in honoring the experiences of youth and their families through an intensive and a multi-dimensional therapeutic intervention. In addition to being passionately committed to the rights of all individuals to live free from addiction, AARC is dedicated to enhancing the awareness, services and prevention within our communities about the concerns and impact of adolescent addiction. AARC’s core principles reflect the inherent right to a substance free life, empowerment, community awareness, respect, accountability, integrity, trust, diversity and optimism through holistic, committed and safe practices. Vision Statement: AARC endeavours to remain a recognized leader in the intervention and recovery of adolescents in the progressive and potentially terminal disease of chemical dependency. Our provision of a holistic, integrated and highly skilled treatment program based on the 12-Steps allows youth, their families and community members to draw on AARC’s knowledge and commitment to conquering the disease of addictions. The provision of an emotionally, physically, spiritually and culturally safe environment in which to heal both ensures the dignity and rights of youth while promoting recovery from the terminal pathology of addictions.
