Transitional Living

Family Way
CADAS recognizes the special needs of women with small children. Trying to gain a foothold in recovery while parenting small children can seem impossible. The Family Way program at CADAS makes this seemingly unreachable goal possible.

Twelve duplexes are furnished and ready to support mothers with their children (up to age 11) and pregnant women who are ready to begin a program of recovery.
