About

About Council for Alcohol/DA Servs Inc

The Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services – known regionally as CADAS – has anchored substance-use treatment in Chattanooga for decades, operating from 207 Spears Avenue in the Northshore district. The center offers the full residential and outpatient continuum of care, including medical detox, residential treatment, an Intensive Outpatient Program, and traditional outpatient services. SAMHSA recognizes CADAS for both mental-health and substance-use programming, reflecting integrated dual-diagnosis care.

Clinical work begins with stabilization in medical detox for clients with active alcohol or opioid dependence, then transitions into residential treatment where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, group work, and individual counseling form the daily structure. Step-down clients can continue with IOP or outpatient services as they re-enter community life. Telehealth options expand access for clients who can’t easily reach the campus in person.

CADAS is in-network with TRICARE, accepts Medicaid, state insurance, most major private insurance plans, self-pay, and offers a sliding-fee scale plus financial assistance, all in service of the nonprofit’s mission to keep cost from blocking access to care. Joint Commission accreditation is the center’s primary external quality marker.

The center serves men and women with substance use disorders, including those with co-occurring mental health diagnoses. CADAS coordinates with regional referral partners, courts, and employers as part of its case management work, and the Scholze Center affiliation extends programming to specialized populations. Admissions can be reached at 423-756-7644 extension 155, and the website at cadas.org provides current intake information.
