As we enter 2026, I have been looking back at 2025’s HIGHLIGHTS for CADA. We just completed 12 months of providing services in the Family Renewal and the Adult Mobile Crisis Response programs. It is a blessing to play a role in helping pregnant woman and women with small children to live sober and regain a healthier family. Seeing the Moms learning how to take better care of their health, be available in their parenting of their children, and step back into the community so much stronger than when they left is amazing to witness. The CADA staff have worked tirelessly to provide stellar substance use treatment services while renovations are underway for the entire Bossier facility. Soon the physical facility will mirror the beauty of the program and the heart of our Bossier Team.

Recently, someone told me how the actions of CADA’s Mobile Crisis Response team impacted them. “I saw the CADA logo on their shirts and realized that must be a new thing at CADA – coming out to a neighborhood and talking to someone in their yard. Shortly after they arrived, I saw my neighbor stop yelling and start listening to the CADA staff. Soon they were giving my neighbor some papers and then even hugged him. I thought, WHO does that?” I told my friend, “CADA staff do that. They’re the best, most caring, kind, beautiful people you could meet.” She smiled and agreed.

Call or stop by and meet us. CADA cares.
