CADAS breaks ground on new facility in North Chattanooga

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – CADAS (The Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse) breaks ground on a new sober living community building.

The 24 unit facility is on their current property at Manning and Minor Streets in North Chattanooga.

They will offer single bedroom apartments for both men and women with support services like relapse prevention, life skills and community meetings.

The new facility addresses housing issues for people in early recovery.

CADAS Board President Jeannie Harper says “This project represents the culmination of three years of planning to create a facility which will provide permanent housing to these worthy individuals.”

“We are thrilled to add this valuable component to our list of tools in our continuing struggle against addiction,” said Paul Fuchcar, CADAS Executive Director. “Our hope is that, for these 24 people in early recovery, living in our apartments will redefine how they view their personal recovery and assist them in regaining their lives.”
