About Council on Alcoholism & Drug Abuse of Northwest Louisiana (CADA)

Outpatient care is in Shreveport, and residential treatment is at a separate center in Bossier City. Council on Alcoholism & Drug Abuse of Northwest Louisiana is a nonprofit addiction treatment center in Shreveport. They’ve offered treatment in Northwest Louisiana since 1958.

Shreveport Clinic or Bossier City

The Council’s Shreveport clinic is outpatient, with an intensive outpatient program and individual counseling. A stay on site isn’t offered here. If your person needs one, the residential center is in Bossier City, and it admits adults, including pregnant women and mothers who have dependent children.

Family Sessions and Support

The residential program includes gender-specific community groups and 12-step support groups. Family sessions give relatives time in the person’s treatment while that person lives at the center. The Council also runs a support group, and it’s for you if you love someone who has a substance use disorder, or if you share a home with that person.

They take Medicaid, commercial insurance or self pay. There’s state-funded treatment for residential clients who are ineligible for Medicaid and have no other way to pay.
