Sober living apartments open in Chattanooga

Renting a Safer Life –

Feb. 16, 2018 – There’s a new living option for those facing addiction, CADAS opened a 24-unit sober living apartment complex on the North Shore.

It was the turning point in the wrong direction Moore saw his life going. “I experimented off and on with opioids, meth, just pretty much done it all,” he said. Last July, he choose to turn his life around when a friend overdosed and lost their life. “When I went to the funeral home and saw her kids walk up to her casket, it just put everything in a whole new light,” Moore said. His story isn’t uncommon, one in seven people in Hamilton County are addicted to drugs and or alcohol and the opioid crisis in America continues to cripple lives of thousands. “It’s time for answers, these apartments are a part of that answer,” said Paul Fuchcar, CADAS Executive Director.
