At CADAS we support anyone who feels their addiction or substance use is problematic. We don’t require people to give up using altogether if that’s not what they want to do, but we do focus on the reduction of harm to themselves or others.

We believe everyone is capable of change.

Often we help clients uncover the reasons for their substance use and find other safer, healthier, more effective ways to manage their mental health. Our clients learn to live in a more resourceful, satisfying way without relying on addiction.

Our range of adult support services includes 1:1 recovery support, peer support groups and drop-in sessions. We also offer a range of health and wellbeing activities and events for clients after they leave our service to help them maintain the changes they have made.

For more information about what is currently available, please read on.

Recovery Services

Peer Group Support

This is a safe space to meet……social time. CADAS deliver groups throughout the county  – some of them support adults in recovery and some support ‘affected others’ – often family members or carers of someone affected by drug or alcohol use or addictive behaviour.  Find out more about our online and local support group locations and times here

1:1 Talking Therapy

CADAS offers a number of weekly sessions with a recovery coach helping you explore strategies to change your behaviours, thoughts and feelings relating to any problematic drug, alcohol use or addictive behaviour you are experiencing

Access To Health And Well-being Activities

 We support clients to access a variety of health and well-being activities as part of their longer term recovery strategy and we use the 5 ways to Well-Being Model as a great tool to help people build wellbeing activity into their everyday lives. We are growing our bank of videos and digital resources so that well-being techniques can be shared and then used at home and we also run doorstep walking groups plus one off events that clients can attend and enjoy.

How can you access support for yourself?

Call 0800 2 54 56 58 to speak to someone today (Monday to Friday, 11am-5pm, Wednesdays 11am-7pm) or email contact@cadas.co.uk and let us have your telephone number so that we can call you back and take your details.

How can you access support for your loved one?

Our work depends on our clients wanting to change. This means that any client, young or old, must choose to refer themselves to our services. Even under-18s need to give their consent to the referral.

We understand how difficult it is to watch someone you love struggle with the effects of drug, alcohol use or addictive behaviour use but we are unable to take referrals from you as a family member or carer on their behalf. What you can do is encourage them to contact us and share our information with them.

For health/social care professionals

We do not give out any information about our clients and the support they are receiving unless there is an exceptional or urgent reason to do so. If you feel this applies to your request, please put that request and your explanation in writing and send it to clientservicecare@cadas.co.uk and we will consider it. Thank you.
