breaking the chains of addiction

WHAT WE DO

Since 1958, we have provided addiction treatment services to Northwest Louisiana.


OUR MISSION

To educate, counsel and treat persons of all ages who suffer from alcoholism and other addictive diseases.

ABOUT CADA

The Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse of Northwest Louisiana (CADA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, private health organization providing substance abuse services.  CADA was established on October 1, 1958, and has been providing these services for the residents of Louisiana on a continuous basis since that time.


In the early years of CADA’s presence in the Shreveport-Bossier area, CADA served as an information and referral base to those seeking treatment. In 1986, our organization shifted from being an information-only center to one that provides addiction treatment services. With the leadership of Dan J. Talley, CADA secured partnerships with the state and various organizations to provide quality addiction treatment to the under-served population in the Shreveport-Bossier area.

Today, CADA offers 12 programs out of three facilities serving Shreveport-Bossier, the surrounding areas, and the whole state of Louisiana. CADA offers a wide variety of payment options including Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, and, in some cases, state funding.


In 2013, CADA received a three-year accreditation from CARF, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. In 2016, 2019, and 2022 CADA received additional back-to-back three-year accreditations, the highest accreditation awarded by the organization. For more information on CARF, click here.
