About CADAS (Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services) – Chattanooga

In Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services or CADAS offers both inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment programs. Regardless of your financial situation they provide prevention education and treatment for chemical dependency. They offer services to individuals, their families and the community at large.

They offer medically monitored detox to minimize or eliminate withdrawal symptoms. To help you safely wean off of alcohol and drugs, medical care and round the clock supervision are offered. Less than 10 days is the typical length of stay for medical detoxification.

Their 28 day adult residential program addresses the physical, emotional and spiritual as well as familial and social aspects of your life that are impacted by your use of drugs and alcohol. The purpose of the adult residential program is to help you identify and process chemically dependent behaviors and to teach you the skills you need to have a successful recovery in the community. Activities are conducted in a structured environment. Every client completes a thorough assessment conducted by knowledgeable and experienced personnel.

Understanding your addiction or dependence and taking the initiative to start your recovery are the main goals of their intensive outpatient programs. They address family dynamics and establish a network of community support. Families gain from this program as well. Clinicians collaborate with family members to help them learn new communication techniques and gain understanding of their family dynamics overall.

Important clinical topics covered by their Matrix program include early recovery, relapse prevention and individual and concurrent therapy. Those who have used stimulants in the past or who have tried several different forms of treatment are eligible for this program. This extensive and multi format treatment program is evidence based and has been shown to be effective.

A specialized outpatient program called medication assisted treatment (MAT) is offered to individuals whose lives have been affected by opiate abuse. In addition to managing medication counselors, nurses and doctors consult with you in therapy groups. This program lasts approximately 12 months and offers medically supervised detox using Vivitrol, naltrexone and buprenorphine.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
