Adult Residential Treatment

Recovery from alcohol and drug addiction can feel overwhelming—but it can also be transformative. At CADAS, we’re here to support you every step of the way with a comprehensive 28-day adult residential program designed to treat substance use while addressing the emotional, mental, and social areas impacted by addiction.

Our residential program focuses primarily on alcohol and drug addiction, but we recognize that true recovery goes beyond abstinence. That’s why our treatment is holistic, evidence-based, and individualized to meet each client’s unique needs.

What to Expect During Your Stay

Residents participate in a variety of therapeutic, educational, and recreational activities designed to build a strong foundation for lasting recovery, including:

  • Education on the disease of addiction
  • Small group therapy
  • Individual counseling sessions
  • Weekly reviews of your personal care plan
  • Life skills development workshops
  • Relapse prevention strategies
  • Therapeutic work assignments
  • Gender-specific support activities
  • Recreational opportunities (e.g., walking, gym access, seasonal outings)
  • Family program involvement

Building a Foundation for Long-Term Recovery

Throughout the program, clients attend structured lectures and workshops on topics such as:

  • The disease model of addiction
  • Shame, anger, and emotional regulation
  • Dual diagnosis and co-occurring mental health issues
  • Relapse warning signs and prevention planning

Each client undergoes a thorough assessment upon admission and is assigned a primary counselor who guides them throughout their stay. This personalized approach helps clients better understand themselves, adopt healthier behaviors, and build the tools they need to maintain recovery in their daily lives.

Expert, Compassionate Care

CADAS is proud to have one of the most qualified counseling teams in the state. Our staff includes master’s-level therapists, licensed social workers, and professionals with personal experience in recovery—ensuring a compassionate and informed approach to care.
