Overview

Mission

See schedule o

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization's residential substance use recovery and life skills development program assists men and women in overcoming self-destructive patterns associated with their substance use. Drug and alcohol addiction studies have shown that an individual's chances for reaching long-term sobriety is greatly increased by an extended stay in a recovery program. This program incorporates a variety of evidence-based practices to address participants' physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and provides a foundation for lasting recovery.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
