Founded in 1975, Tamarack Recovery Centre (formally known as Tamarack Rehab Inc) is a 12-bed, all-gender recovery treatment centre providing addiction treatment and recovery services in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Tamarack Recovery Centre (TRC) provides a 60- to 78-day residential addiction treatment for people who have been sober for 28 days. The charity offers a low-cost fee structure and a Participant Subsidy Fund, which supported 19 participants in F2025. TRC offers The Branch, which is optional transitional housing available to live-in program graduates. The charity provides an aftercare program, giving continuous, free support.
In F2025, 67 individuals entered Tamarack Recovery Centre’s treatment program. Of the total participants, 61% were female, 37% were male, and 2% were non-binary.
The charity reported that alcohol accounted for 40% of primary addictions, followed by methamphetamine (23%), crack cocaine (17%), powder cocaine (13%), opiates (4%), and cannabis (3%). Based on the 2024-25 participant completion rate of 83%, 55 participants graduated from the program.
TRC reported that The Branch provided 22 people with extended care and supportive housing, with an average length of stay of seven months. In F2025, the charity reported that it provided 1,473 hours of aftercare services to its graduates, a 50% increase since F2024.

The charity reports that 86% of The Branch participants said that they did not believe they would be sober or were not sure if they would be sober today if they did not have The Branch.

Ci calculates that its cost per participant treated was $19k in F2025, based on total spending relative to the number of participants.

Finances
Tamarack Recovery Centre’s audited financial statements follow line-item costing. Its financials do not separate expenses by program, administrative, and fundraising activities. This is not a best practice.
In F2025, TRC received $872k in donations (49% of total revenue) and $684k of government funding (38% of revenue).
Administrative costs are 2% of total revenue and fundraising costs are 2% of donations. Its 4% overhead spending means that for every dollar donated, 96 cents are available to go to the cause. This is within Ci's reasonable range.
In F2025, the charity reported a surplus of $507k and recorded funding reserves of $1.0m. These reserves can cover 87% or ten months of annual program costs.
