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. With the leadership of Dan J. Talley, in 1986 CADA began to provide treatment services by securing partnerships with the state and various organizations in order to directly help the under-served population in the Shreveport-Bossier area and all of north Louisiana.
Today, CADA offers a full continuum of care with numerous residential and outpatient programs in our facilities serving Shreveport-Bossier, the surrounding areas, and the whole state of Louisiana. CADA offers a variety of payment options including Medicaid, private insurance, self-pay, and, in some cases, state funding.
