Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre - AARC

A Unique evidence based, research-backed, long-term treatment model saving Youth from addiction since 1992 💫

The Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre (AARC) is a long-term treatment program for chemically dependent adolescents and their families. Success at AARC is a graduate who is clean and sober, back in school or working, and reunited with his or her family. The program is often the treatment of last resort for young people who have been in jail, in court, suicidal, violent, in psychiatric wards, living on the streets, in other treatment programs and/or removed from their home

🧡 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at AARC! We’re grateful for our staff, supporters, donors, alumni, and the clients and families who make our community so special.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest moments that mean the most. Sharing a meal, laughing together, and appreciating how far we’ve come. These are the moments that can get lost in active addiction, but recovery creates space to reconnect and make room for them again.

From our AARC family to yours, we wish you a warm and meaningful Thanksgiving filled with connection, gratitude, and time with the people who matter most. 🍂

September 30 invites us to pause and reflect on the lasting impacts of the residential school system and the experiences of the children, families and communities affected. At AARC, we recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing journey that calls for continued learning, reflection and meaningful action. Through art and creative activities, our youth have an opportunity to learn, connect and reflect on the significance of this day while exploring Indigenous histories, cultures and traditions. Today, we remember the children, recognize Survivors and Indigenous communities, and reflect on how we can each contribute to relationships grounded in respect, understanding and compassion. 🧡

We are pleased to share that AARC has received a Community Facility Enhancement Program grant to support important upgrades to our facility.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Honourable Tanya Fir, Minister of Arts, Culture and Status of Women, and the Government of Alberta for this generous investment in AARC. This funding will help us continue providing a safe and supportive environment for youth and families on their journey of recovery.

We are deeply grateful for this support and recognition of AARC’s work in our community.

It was a ‘ruff’ day at the office 🐾

Daisy, Duncan, Honey, and Otis came to visit our kids this week!

A big thank you to for coming in to spend time with our clients and staff. We look forward to these visits every time. Our four-legged friends mean so much, especially on the tough days that can come with early recovery. 💙

This past Saturday, we held Parent Day at AARC! Parents get a glimpse into what their child experiences and worked hard through multiple group sessions. It is a tiring day, but filled with support, connection, and understanding.

Our clients spent time on outings with staff, learning that recovery can be fun, too. 💙

Thank you to the staff and alumni who make this possible!
