If the name Catherine Remak seems familiar to you, you aren\u2019t alone. She has been the voice of the KLITE 101.7 morning show for 23 years. The show allows her to relish in her passion for light rock while promoting \"cathmany of the great organizations that serve Santa Barbara residents.<\/p>\n

It was through the radio show that Remak discovered the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse<\/a> (CADA). The organization strives to prevent alcoholism and drug abuse through education and public awareness. With CADA, community members gain access to intervention services, treatment, and support.<\/p>\n

More than 15 years after serving as a volunteer with CADA, Remak accepted her role as Director of Corporate Development and Communications. She is passionate about the numerous programs offered through CADA and has a difficult time deciding which program initially sparked her interest in the organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of them,\u201d Remak laughs. \u201cBut I\u2019m really fond of our youth services, especially our Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Center which treats area youth with drug and alcohol issues with services to their families. A terrific program called Teen Court also operates out of the Center. It\u2019s got a great success rate, with 85 percent of teens not reoffending. I\u2019m also a fan of CADA Youth Service Specialists, our trained counselors who are on school campuses dealing with kids in a preventative way.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is vital to present kids with education and preventative tactics. If they grow into teens or adults struggling with addition, they face one daunting obstacle to their wellbeing– themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough,\u201d says Remak. \u201cWhen they\u2019re in the throes of addiction, they don\u2019t think that they need any help. Sometimes it requires an intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet when a third party is involved, the likelihood of success may decrease. Remak says, \u201cWe often see people in Project Recovery, our adult program, because they\u2019ve been mandated by court. That\u2019s tough because when they\u2019re told that they have to do a program, it\u2019s not as likely to be successful as when they\u2019ve decided on their own that they\u2019ve reached their rock bottom and they really want to turn their lives around.\u201d CADA’s youth-centered programming emphasizes preventative measures that can bypass this struggle.<\/p>\n

Yet after addiction has its grip on an adult, there is a way out. Among the programs at CADA<\/p>\n

\"CADA's
CADA’s annual Amethyst Ball<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

, Save A Valuable Employee Assistance Program (SAVE) allows concerned leadership to direct employees towards helpful resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s say you\u2019re a manager and you have an employee who is a great employee but they\u2019re facing an addiction. We\u2019ve found, that even from a financial standpoint, that it\u2019s better to try to get them help rather than fire them, hire a replacement, and then get that new person trained,\u201d says Remak. \u201cOf course, getting help from SAVE also sends a message that you care, long term, about your employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

Project Recovery Treatment program is another service that specializes in adult care. Clients with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders receive outpatient treatment to overcome their addictions. Provisions are made for women who are pregnant or parenting, as well as those who require services in Spanish.<\/p>\n

With 23 programs under one roof, CADA relies on public support to thrive. Two of the most popular fundraisers are the annual climbs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do an annual Summit for Danny climb, dedicated to a young man that died of a drug overdose,\u201d explains Remak. \u201c2015 was our most successful year ever. We brought in over $130,000 of revenue and had 320 hikers or so.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event was the out-growth of the organization\u2019s smaller international Summit for Danny. \u201cIn 2016, we will be going to Norway. The International Summit for Danny is led by Danny\u2019s father, Bob Bryant, a local businessman and athlete, and his wife. They take a group of climbers every year and they\u2019ve been doing it since 2001. They\u2019ve raised over $1 million locally for the Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Center,\u201d Remak says. She adds, \u201cThis is so important to Bob, because after losing Danny to a heroin overdose, he wanted to be sure no other family suffered such loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the climbs are a huge success, there are other ways that supporters can get involved. \u201cSupporters can get involved with a monetary donation, if they feel so inclined, rather than climbing a mountain somewhere in the world,\u201d chuckles Remak.<\/p>\n
