With over 60 years of experience in addiction treatment, CADAS provides help whether someone is battling alcohol or drug dependence, co-occurring mental-health challenges, or caught in the cycle of relapse. CADAS offers treatment that covers all the bases: medically managed detox, 28-day residential programs, intensive outpatient and standard outpatient care, transitional living, and aftercare too.

Break Free from Stigma and Step into Healing

At CADAS, there’s no reason someone can’t get treatment; whether they’re uninsured, hesitant, or fearful of starting over. For over 60 years, they have worked to remove stigma so clients can focus on recovery. Their approach addresses physical cravings, emotional wounds, spiritual emptiness, and mental health challenges all at once. With therapies rooted in the 12-step model, evidence-based practices, and medication-assisted treatment, CADAS meets each person where they are.

Discover How a Good Sober Day Can Feel

CADAS’s campus gives clients a place to enjoy pieces of life again. Situated right next to a community rec center, clients have easy access to yoga, fitness classes, and fun activities that help them have a “good day” without substances. The environment is designed to help people build healthy routines and friendships—whether they’re walking the grounds with peers, relaxing between groups, or joining community-based activities.

Get Support around Housing, Work, and Life Stressors

The CADAS team checks in at 30 days, 60 days, and again at six months post-treatment, offering support. They help clients with things like housing, work, triggers, or even unexpected interactions with law enforcement, so clients never feel like they’re doing life alone. And because 80% of CADAS employees are in recovery themselves, every follow-up comes from someone who gets it.

Gain Insight about the “Why” behind Addiction
CADAS’s lectures and workshops give clients the kind of clarity that can completely shift how they understand addiction. Clients explore topics like the disease model of addiction, emotional regulation around shame and anger, dual diagnosis, relapse warning signs, and prevention planning. These sessions blend evidence-based therapy with 12-step principles in a way that feels genuinely useful.

The Matrix intensive outpatient group is designed specifically for people who feel stuck in the cycle of relapse. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all approach, the Matrix model brings together everything someone in chronic relapse actually needs: individual and group therapy for deeper healing, early-recovery skills to regain footing, relapse-prevention strategies, family education, social support, and regular drug testing to keep progress on track.

With options like Suboxone, Vivitrol, and long-acting injections, clients can find relief from cravings while staying grounded in their daily lives. Clients don’t need to be in residential treatment to take part, but every participant meets weekly for a three-hour group that encourages accountability and honesty.
