CADAS (Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services) 207 Spears Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37405

"As I scroll through the reviews as I sit on hold w/ cadas after staff being rude to me and giving me the run around(I have it all recorded)..I see im NOT the only 1 that's been disrespected by staff of cadas just to call in checking on a loved 1! I have my recordings of how unprofessional & will report this place everyday I'm disrespected. Staff was rude except 1 guy..even when I brought my loved 1 there. Doesn't make ppl feel welcomed or IMPORTANT! Worse rehab by far."

"There is nothing anonymous about my life, there for I feel free to say that this is by far the best treatment center for alcohol and drug use that I've been to"

"I called the drug abuse hotline. They sent me to CADAS. I showed up at my appointment time. And this black lady took me back. She was frustrated that I even showed up. Saying I didn’t have an appointment. When I explained I needed help now because my liver was shutting down from my drug abuse. She said that she had to keep open beds for clients that had insurance. So I would have to wait 30 days. I told her I did not have 30 days. She was extremely rude & said that there was nothing she could do. She made me feel useless. I was on the brink of suicide. This lady was in admitting & was horrible at her job. I ended up finding a detox clinic. They let me pay day by day. Until I got insurance. And I got my life back. No thanks to CADAS & that horrible black lady in admitting. They only help if you have insurance. Or lots of money. Which I would have had if I was clean. This happened back in 2014. My cousin has a family member that works here. They got him in immediately. He doesn’t have a job nor insurance. But he knew someone."

"My son is an addict…. He has been to CADAS three times…. The third time was the charm it was the time he was finally ready and they were there to help…. I can’t thank them for continuing to be there for him & Not giving up on him!!! Everyone is so kind and wants the best for all their patients!!! I’m Not sure he would be sober now without them!!! He moved on to oasis, and then eventually a sober house and is doing wonderfully!! There aren’t enough words to tell you how you changed our families lives….Thank U so Very Much!!"

"I went here 3 years ago. I am still sober today after 22 years of being addicted to opiates. 10 of the 22 years I was an IV drug user. There is recovery at this place if you want it. All the staff from intake, Tecs, nurses and counselors are understanding and considerate. I loved the small group counseling. And they offer a few after care programs for added support and direction."
