Centre CASA

What Centre CASA does

Centre CASA is a non-profit addiction prevention and treatment organization headquartered in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Quebec, operating since 1995 from a 48-room residential facility on a wooded site near Quebec City. It delivers a continuum of care spanning residential treatment with private individual rooms, external (outpatient) therapy, post-therapy follow-up, family and loved-one support programs, kinesiology consultations, and workplace addiction prevention services. Its core modality is professional psychosocial intervention supported by a multidisciplinary team that includes psychosocial workers, educators, peer supporters, art therapists, nurses, and kinesiologists, with harm reduction and healthy-lifestyle integration as the underlying clinical philosophy.

The organization is funded through a hybrid model combining government grants (notably Veterans Affairs Canada's Veteran and Family Well-Being Fund, $870,000 in 2022), client therapy fees that are often fully subsidized for financially precarious clients, foundation-led donations and benefit events (administered by the wholly-owned Fondation du Centre CASA, established 2005), and corporate workplace prevention contracts. Operations are supported by back-office SaaS tools (Agendrix for scheduling, Nethris for payroll, Folks RH for HR) and a privacy officer function compliant with Quebec Bill 25. Marketing and client acquisition rely on a referral network of healthcare providers and government agencies, alongside an active organic social presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok.

The organization's customer base is segmented across four groups: adults with addiction issues (substance, gambling, cyber), their families and loved ones, Canadian Veterans and their families (a federally funded segment), and organizations/employers seeking workplace prevention. It holds the 2025 Médaille pour mérite exceptionnel from Quebec's Lieutenant Governor and partners with Université Laval via the RESPECT Forum on national veteran mental health networking.
