Southeastern Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc.

We are an agency that believes in second chances and the ability of people to find recovery. The path to recovery is not one-directional.

Our empathetic, compassionate staff are dedicated to supporting people in their recovery. We believe that an individual must be motivated to help him/herself, but we also know that individuals need a close-knit system of human relationships to support them in this difficult process. Each of our programs incorporates this philosophy into the clients treatment plan. For this reason, SCADD offers a variety of levels of care to support recovery continuity based on the appropriate intensity of intervention needed. No matter where you’re from or what your story is, we will work to help you find the best fit for your needs.

This family-friendly event will feature local vendors, community fun, and creative non-alcoholic drinks from Tox Brewery’s coffee shop and soda counter, all while supporting recovery.

💙 How it gives back:

🌟 Pillars of Our Community: Dr. Joseph Ceha 🌟

Dr. Joseph Ceha, one of the founders of SCADD, dedicated his life to serving individuals and communities through a distinguished career in mental health and addiction services. His leadership included roles as Chief of Professional Services at Norwich Hospital, executive board member of the Southeastern Connecticut Regional Commission on Alcoholism, Superintendent of Undercliff Mental Health Center in Meriden, and later service with the Connecticut Department of Mental Health.

Dr. Ceha believed that addiction is a community-wide challenge—one that cannot be addressed in isolation. He recognized that substance use is shaped by many interconnected factors and that lasting solutions require collaboration, compassion, and collective responsibility.

His forward-thinking vision helped lay the foundation of SCADD’s mission, and his legacy continues to guide our work today. 💙
