Making it easy for you to get help

We exist to make sure every individual can get the support, information and advice they need regarding their own or someone else’s drug and alcohol use. We support every age group and people can get in touch with us directly or via a professional referral.

We call this our ‘No wrong door’ approach: however and whenever people get in touch about any drug and alcohol concerns, we’ll know how to help.

Who is CAVDAS

Who is CAVDAS

The CAVDAS Alliance brings together the skills, experience and expertise of three Welsh substance use organisations – Barod, Kaleidoscope and Recovery Cymru – and the Cardiff and Vale Area Planning Board.

CAVDAS was formed to deliver innovative services based on the needs of the people in Cardiff and Vale. This unique arrangement for Welsh services allows space for the voices of people using services to be heard and for their needs to be met in the ways that work for them. That way, we can continue to further develop services as required.

Co-production of services

Co-production of services

We believe the best services are produced together with the people who need them and who have first-hand experience of what works well.

This is how we develop our services and why we have a strong, professional peer support team who are a very important part of our approach.
