BOO!! What did the pumpkin say to the pie baker? "Please use apples, instead."
The pumpkin carving competition did not disappoint as clients showcased their skills. It was a great day to hear the laughter and see all the artistic ability our clients have.

Saturday was a special day to celebrate Recovery. The Unity on the Bridge Event at Coolidge Park was a testament to Recovery and HOPE. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success. Together, we can tear down the stigma of SUD and Recovery. You can get your life back, and with HOPE, everything is possible!! Special shout-out to Mayor Tim Kelly, who dropped by to say a few words in support of Recovery and praise all the providers who are helping individuals get their lives back from SUD. It was a great day to see our community coming together.

The TAADAS dinner awards night was in full attendance, and what a fantastic event to recognize so many well-deserving individuals who are transforming lives. Our very own Representative Esther Helton-Hayes received the 2025-Voice of Recovery Award for her pioneering leadership towards changing how we, and our community, respond to substance abuse and recovery. Our State and Community are fortunate to have such a passionate and qualified leader. It was a true honor for CADAS to be in attendance with so many providers fighting for the exact cause.

BECAUSE YOUR RECOVERY IS THEIR FOUNDATION
Family Way is a family-based program that offers support to single parents seeking a substance-free lifestyle for themselves and their children. CADAS recognizes the special needs of single women and men with small children. Trying to gain a foothold in recovery while parenting small children can seem impossible.
The Family Way program at CADAS can make this seemingly unreachable goal possible. Housing is provided along with other recovery support services.
Call Paul Roddy, Program Manager, at 423-425-0321 or visit cadas.org

CADAS speaks to CIT officers and other First Responders in Rhea County @ Bryan College. Our very own Greg Phillips, Team Coordinator for TN Recovery Navigator- CPRS, talked to a group about the services our team of Navigators provides throughout an 11-county area while servicing 19 Emergency Departments. This was an excellent opportunity to answer questions and strengthen the bond with our Law Enforcement and First Responder Community. This was part of a 40-hour training class in Crisis Intervention and how TN Recovery Navigators can assist in finding help for those in need.
