About CADAS – Adult Treatment (Spears Ave)
Intensive outpatient programs meet in the morning and the evening at CADAS, an addiction treatment center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. People in those programs live at home. I noted thier outpatient level is for people keeping a job or staying in school.
The adult residential program runs 28 days, so that's time you'd be away from a job. The medication program includes buprenorphine (a medication for opioid use disorder).
TennCare and Sliding Scale
CADAS accepts TennCare (Tennessee's Medicaid program) and Medicaid, along with most commercial insurance. Public funding is an option for eligible people in Tennessee, and there's a sliding scale if you apply for it.
I found that aftercare for alumni doesn't add a charge, so a person can stay without a new payment.
Low-Income Sober Living
CADAS has forty sober living apartments in Chattanooga for people with low income in early recovery, and each apartment is single occupancy. Oasis Halfway House is on the campus, and it's the transitional house.
The Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services runs the nonprofit campus, and CADAS was founded in 1964.
Amenities
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.
Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.
