CAADE's History

    The California Association for Alcohol/Drug Educators (CAADE) was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1984.

    The first gathering of individuals concerned with alcohol and drug studies in higher education was held in Fresno, California in 1982. Father Dave Duran, a priest who had served as the Chair of the Statewide Alcohol Advisory Committee, was the host. This organization, which was originally an informal gathering of educators, administrators and other interested professionals was organized in 1984, with Dr. Rod Skager of U.C.L.A. as our first President.

    CAADE serves some sixty College and University programs in California. The organization also sponsors an annual conference where state-of-the-art alcohol and drug training issues and information is shared with interested personnel working in the field. CAADE is one of the credentialing organizations included in the State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs directory meeting the minimum criteria for Alcohol and Drug Counseling.

    The CAADE Mission is to promote continuous enhancement of addiction services in the community including prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery support services.

    The mission is accomplished through:

    ●    Promotion and support of quality higher education in addiction studies;

    ●    Provision of continuing education and professional development;

    ●    Leadership at the state and national levels for the development and

          implementation of certification standards for addiction service
          professionals;

         ●   Development and application of accreditation standards for higher education 
          in addiction studies; and

    ●   Public policy education and advocacy with consumers and other

         stakeholders
