Cadas was founded in 1979 by a group of concerned individuals and professionals in the field who wanted to provide a service for the people of Cumbria who suffered from the effects of alcohol and drugs We continue to provide our drug and alcohol service to individuals and now offer help to families, communities and employers with training and information provision Our strength is built on the passion of individuals and communities who want to make a positive difference to their lives and the lives of those close to them
