When you're ready!
When you're ready to talk about your alcohol and other drug use, or you're concerned about someone else, CADS is here to help
When you're ready
With our support you can develop a plan. This plan may include attending a group, counselling, reading some information or accessing one of our specialist services. In short we can help you make the changes you want to make.
COVID-19
CADS are committed to supporting you during this time though the support we can offer looks different than usual. To keep you and the staff safe we are minimising face-to-face contacts. Staff are available during usual business hours so your calls will be answered or returned.
Call your local unit or 09 845 1818
Stay safe. Stay well. Be patient and kind. Kia kaha.
Concerned about someone?
If you are worried about someone else’s alcohol or drug use we offer special groups and information evenings as well as individual counselling. Share and learn with others about dependency, substances, boundaries and useful coping strategies
Cultural services
Te Atea Marino (Maori service) and Tupu (Pacific service) and the Asian service offer culturally appropriate counselling, groups, support and consultation options. Translators are available on request
