About us
Situated in Duluth, Minnesota, the Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment (CADT) is a renowned nonprofit institution committed to provide all-encompassing treatment to those grappling with alcohol abuse, mental health conditions, and gambling problems. Over the last 60 years, CADT, formerly known as the Center for Problem Drinking, has seen a tremendous transformation. To better serve the varied needs of those pursuing recovery, the organization has expanded its programs and partnered with local groups.
With a wide range of therapy choices, CADT can meet clients at any point in their recovery process. The medical detox program offers a secure and encouraging setting where patients may go through detoxification while being watched after by medical specialists. This approach uses medical treatments to treat withdrawal symptoms in order to provide a secure and efficient detoxification procedure.
The FDA-approved medication-assisted therapy (MAT) program offered by CADT combines mental health counseling with medicine for those in need of continuous assistance. This method tackles the psychological, emotional, and physiological aspects of addiction, assisting patients in controlling cravings and symptoms of withdrawal while laying a solid basis for sustained recovery.
Clients at CADT may completely commit to their rehabilitation during residential treatment, away from the interruptions of everyday life. In order to assist clients in reintegrating into society, the program offers life skills training, education, career assistance, sober events, and excursions in addition to at least 15 hours of therapeutic therapy each week.
CADT provides outpatient services, which are less frequent than the residential program but nevertheless offer comparable assistance, to clients who want more flexibility. To assist clients in building stable, independent lives, outpatient treatment offers life skills workshops, individual and group therapy, and connections to social services and neighborhood resources.
The majority of significant insurance plans are accepted by CADT, including United Healthcare, Aetna, Beacon, Magellan, ComPsych, and Cigna. To guarantee easy access to care, clients are advised to confirm their coverage and out-of-network benefits prior to beginning treatment.
The Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment’s accreditation by CARF attests to its dedication to provide top-notch, empirically supported treatment. The guiding principle of the Center is to provide a holistic road to recovery by using harm reduction tactics in conjunction with more conventional treatment approaches, while also meeting clients where they are in their recovery journey.
From a modest team of three workers at the beginning, CADT has expanded throughout time to become a strong organization providing a variety of services and initiatives. Its commitment to assisting people in overcoming mental health and drug use issues has made it a pillar of the Duluth community. It is always growing and modifying its services to better meet the changing requirements of its clientele.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness.
