Council for Alcohol/DA Servs Inc - (CADAS)

Recovery Foundation with A Personalized Approach

The 28-day residential program is designed to help adults build structure, accountability, and real-life recovery skills. Clients take part in small group therapy, individual counseling, and education on addiction, relapse prevention, and emotional regulation. Each person works with a counselor to set goals, review progress weekly, and work on skills to feel equipped for life after treatment.

Structured, Long-Term Outpatient Care to Sustain Recovery

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) meet for morning and evening sessions three days a week, focusing on community support, relapse prevention, and building a plan for long-term sobriety. The Matrix Intensive Outpatient Group provides a structured, evidence-based track, combining therapy, family education, and early recovery skills. For ongoing stability, a 12-month program pairs medications with counseling and peer support to help clients maintain balance and independence.

Beginning Recovery After Substance-Related Offenses

The state-certified DUI School is for individuals with DUI or alcohol-related offenses, and teaches the effects of alcohol and drug use and their impact on physical health, relationships, and decision-making.
