CADAS
Philosophy of Treatment


Alcohol and drug addiction is a primary, chronic and progressive disease. The disease negatively affects the individual, the family and all others in the addict’s life. Addiction creates and encourages denial, poor choices, emotional misery and physical deterioration. Left untreated, addiction will ultimately lead to death. CADAS believes that the complexity of this disease requires a multi-dimensional treatment approach that focuses on restoring the individual physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We believe recovery is possible with effective treatment.


CADAS is committed to removing barriers to recovery; to breaking the bonds of addiction to alcohol and other drugs; to educating the addict about this disease and to supporting and encouraging lifelong recovery for a healthier quality of life for all. Treatment addresses the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components of the addict’s life and also provides an outreach to the addict’s family. CADAS utilizes the 12-step model of recovery and our interventions reflect this approach. Relapse prevention skills are crucial for maintaining sobriety and CADAS is committed to aftercare support for the journey into early recovery.
