Evidenced-based services that are innovative, cost-effective, and supported with data
"When I was homeless, the people at CA managed to find me wherever I was... even when I didn't want to be found! I know I can depend on them to help me."
It used to be that mental health providers would try to stabilize you through re-covery. But with CA's pro-covery approach, they teach you how to move forward, to live and have a life!"
"CA has been so important to my life. The staff has always been there for me... I know that without them, I wouldn't be where I am today: independent, responsible, able to love myself a lot more, and DRUG FREE!"
"They [CA] would leave and come back the next day, and the next, they never gave up on me... My kids respect me now, way more since I've been sober. They visit me now, and I am so happy and thankful to my Team."
