About CADAS – Scholze Center for Adolescents
CADAS – Scholze Center for Adolescents is a residential drug and alcohol program for youths aged 13 to 17 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Accredited by The Joint Commission, this a 40 bed, 24 hour facility located in a serene setting on a quiet valley road. They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) and medically supervised detox. Specializing in co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, they have a clinical psychologist on staff for mental health assessments.
Along with individual and small group therapies, they offer motivational interviewing and life skills education. There are therapeutic work activities and relapse prevention classes. For recreation they provide exercise equipment and a gym as well as an indoor climbing wall. Meditation and relaxation classes are also part of the curriculum.
The Scholze School
While in treatment, young people attend the Scholze School to make sure they don’t fall behind in their studies. This accredited school is licensed by the Hamilton County Board of Education and the state of Tennessee. Classroom activities include an education assessment to determine the appropriate grade level and testing upon admission and discharge. They report that most clients see multi year improvements in reading and math skills during their stay.
The Family Program
Scholze’s family program is another important factor in the client’s recovery journey. It’s designed to help families better understand addiction and the impact it has on their child’s life and their own. Once a month they host a “Family Day,” which is a day-long training course to learn more about specific topics related to addiction and recovery. Parents spend time with their child and listen to presentations from staff about specific areas of education. There are also family therapy sessions involving both the family therapist and the client’s individual therapist. Family activities are also provided.

I just left Cadas today and it was great, highly recommend for youth trying to stay sober!
Today I'm celebrating another year clean, which I know would not be possible without the help I received from CADAS through The Scholze Center. On January 20, 2011, I found my rock bottom. 13 days later, I entered the The Scholze Center and the course of my life was forever altered. I will always consider this facility the place where a seed was planted in me. It's where I developed the desire to try something different.Take the drugs away, and I was still stuck with me. I was manipulative, pessimistic, co-dependant, amongst several other traits that made me difficult to deal with. And for the first time, I found adults who saw me for what I was, and treated me with dignity and respect regardless, while I sorted through the mess I had made of my life. I was greeted every morning and told goodnight every evening by adults who actually wanted to see us succeed, having been through similar struggles themselves.The Scholze Center was where I learned what it felt like to laugh again after years of trying to feel nothing at all. It's where I fell in love with sports again. It's where I confided in other girls for the first time on things I swore I would never tell another soul, just to find they held onto the same secrets.The Scholze Center is what you make of it. Just like anything in life, if you look for the negative, you'll find it. But for anyone searching through reviews as a parent or potential client, if you want a better life, The Scholze Center can help you start that journey.In 2014, I came back to The Scholze Center assisting with H&I (Hospitals and Institutions) bringing meetings to the facility. I returned again in 2021 and served as a technician. I've always found my way back to The Scholze Center because I believe in all the potential it has to offer. I was fortunate enough to be employed at the time Melanie Berg stepped into the role as program director. I have no doubt, the center is continuing to thrive in her hands.CADAS, thank you for continuing to invest in our youth. I wouldn't be here today without having experienced your program that planted the seed in me of a radical belief system that maybe I was still worth investing in and that maybe there was a bigger purpose for my life than what I had been settling for.-Erin Graves

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
When your day-to-day life is taken over by drug use, this is known as substance use disorder. If you abruptly stop using your drug of choice, you experience withdrawal symptoms. To overcome this cycle, professional drug rehab in Tennessee is usually needed.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
