Our History
Community Addiction Services of Niagara (CASON) was formed on April 1, 2009 through a merging of two addiction services that had been serving the Niagara community for decades: Niagara Alcohol and Drug Assessment Service and the Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centre. With just under 50 employees, CASON is a non-profit charitable organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.
CASON provides a range of community-based services to individuals of all ages and their families. In fact, in the fiscal year 2021/2022 CASON served over 3,000 people!
