Overview

Mission

To provide families and individuals battling addiction with trustworthy, compassionate guidance through the recovery process - connecting them with vetted programs, resources, and ongoing support.

What it reported doing in 2025

Program placement, intervention services, counseling referrals, detox center referrals, family guidance and support are the main services provided.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
