Reducing harmful addiction across Cumbria 💙

We offer support and guidance for all ages surrounding substance use and addiction, delivering 1:1s and group sessions, working with schools and employers as part of our awareness-raising role. Cumbria Addictions: Advice and Solutions (CADAS) is a countywide charity offering support and guidance for all ages surrounding substance use and addictive behaviour. We work in partnership with a variety of other services (e.g. mental health and homelessness charities, statutory children services and local employers) to create packages of support for people that leads to more sustainable change. Whilst we do work with people in recovery, a key part of our mission is to deliver preventative services. We deliver educational workshops in schools and youth clubs, to those working in the health and social care sector and to employers as part of our awareness raising remit. As we work to reduce harmful addiction, we support members of the Cumbrian community across a range of problematic dependencies, from gambling to alcohol, social media to drugs and smoking to video gaming. We are a registered charity (No 1002201).
