These are the programs we’re honored to be involved in, each aligned with our commitment to
healing, resilience, and community well-being.
CADAS
The Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services (CADAS) opened its doors in 1964 to offer the highest quality treatment, prevention, and educational services to the chemically dependent, their families, and the community at large.
Since those humble beginnings, CADAS has served tens of thousands of clients in a variety of programs – all designed to promote recovery.
Hamilton County Jail & Detention Center: Re-Entry Program
The Hamilton County Jail & Detention Center serves as the primary intake facility for all arrestees in the county. Through its Re-Entry Program, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office provides educational classes to sentenced inmates nearing their release. Since the Re-Entry program's launch in June 2018, over 1,000 men and women have participated. Classes cover vital topics such as anger and stress management, reentry preparation, addiction recovery, parenting, literacy, and more.
In 2024, we partnered with the Hamilton County Jail & Detention Center by adding two weekly yoga classes for the men and women in the Re-Entry Program.
Chattanooga DRC/CRC
The Day Reporting Center (DRC) and Community Resource Center (CRC) offer a structured, intensive outpatient alternative to incarceration for eligible participants. It’s a one-year, three-phase program that supports individuals with moderate to high substance use needs, helping them access resources and services that promote rehabilitation and reintegration into the community.
To qualify, participants must be under the supervision of TDOC’s Community Supervision and have at least 18 months remaining on their probation or parole term.
