Southeastern Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc.

Southeastern Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. We are an agency that believes in second chances and the ability of people to find recovery. The path to recovery is not one-directional.

Our empathetic, compassionate staff are dedicated to supporting people in their recovery. We believe that an individual must be motivated to help him/herself, but we also know that individuals need a close-knit system of human relationships to support them in this difficult process. Each of our programs incorporates this philosophy into the clients treatment plan. For this reason, SCADD offers a variety of levels of care to support recovery continuity based on the appropriate intensity of intervention needed. No matter where you’re from or what your story is, we will work to help you find the best fit for your needs.

🥬 Winter Greens Are Growing at Lebanon Pines 🥬

Even in the heart of winter, growth continues at Lebanon Pines. We’re proud to share our first lettuce harvest of the season, a hands-on achievement that highlights consistency, patience, and care. Values that mirror the recovery journey.

This harvest began with seeds generously donated by the Gemma E. Moran/United Way Labor Food Center, whose partnership helps expand access to fresh food while supporting meaningful, skill-building opportunities for our clients. Together, we’re cultivating healthy routines, self-sufficiency, and a deeper connection to wellness.

We’re grateful for partnerships that help turn small beginnings into lasting impact, one winter harvest at a time. 🌱

✨ Pillars of SCADD: Honoring Pastor Mark Love ✨

For more than 20 years, Pastor Mark Love has been a steadfast pillar of compassion, connection, and hope within the SCADD community. Week after week, he has generously volunteered his time to lead Bible study sessions, offering encouragement, guidance, and spiritual support to clients on their recovery journey.

Pastor Love has also opened the doors of his congregation to SCADD residents, personally providing transportation so they can participate in Sunday morning worship. Through these acts of kindness, he has helped foster a sense of belonging, community, and spiritual growth for countless individuals.

His unwavering dedication is a true testament to the power of faith, service, and human connection in the healing and recovery process. Today, we proudly recognize Pastor Mark Love as a pillar of SCADD and extend our deepest gratitude for the many lives he has touched.
