About TAADAS (TN Association of Alcohol, Drug, and other Addiction Services)

TAADAS is a statewide consumer-oriented association founded in 1976. Our mission is to provide a collaborative voice for addiction, co-occurring, and recovery support services while creating positive change in Tennessee. We educate, support and engage our members and the public by influencing prevention policy statewide. We have several operations under the TAADAS umbrella: Recovery Book & Things - our extensive collection of recovery related gift items, books and jewelry for the recovery community and beyond. We have a unique collection of quality gifts and books to sustain, inspire and celebrate the recovery journey. It is a wonderful way to recognize important milestones and encourage program participation. www.recoverygifts.org The TN Statewide Clearinghouse - is the state repository and dissemination center for alcohol and drug, problem gambling, and other addiction prevention and treatment literature and information. Free literature may be ordered via our website at www.taadas.org The TN REDLINE - The Tennessee REDLINE is promoted, and calls are received, from all over Tennessee. Treatment and other program referrals are made on the REDLINE. Callers are provided with at least 3 referral sources when possible. REDLINE staff does not do therapy or counseling with the caller or substance abuser, but gives them the information to put them in touch with someone who will provide a diagnosis, prognosis or assessment of the mental or physical health of the substance user/abuser. The REDLINE strives to provide the caller with specific referrals based on their stated needs. Referral sources are not just limited to TAADAS member agencies, state funded programs, or to any specific area of the state. Any program can apply with the REDLINE to be included in their referral database, to apply contact the Information Specialist at 1-800-889-9789.
