Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor/Owner

JEFFREY MELVIN

CADC-I, California Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from the University of California, Davis and an MBA from Santa Clara University. For the past 20 years I have had a successful career in Finance with several Bay Area companies and have decided to transition into a career to help those impacted by addiction. After completing addiction and counseling courses, I joined ATA as an intern and agree with the vision that substance use disorder treatment deserves an individualized and focused approach. I strongly believe that my past struggles with alcohol and my own journey of recovery can be used to help others recover.

The ATA Difference

Substance Use Disorder is a serious problem not only in our area, but across the country. Because substance abuse comes in many different shapes and sizes, counseling options should be equally diverse. Alcoholics face different issues than those addicted to Pain Pills or Cocaine. Since substance abuse varies from one person to the next, it only makes sense that to be truly effective, substance abuse treatment must be tailored to address the needs of the individual. Those suffering from addiction must never feel pigeonholed into a certain treatment method but must know that there is a solution out there that will meet each of their needs regardless of what they are. Before deciding which Treatment Facility is best for you or a loved one, please consider the following benefits that ATA can offer.

Do I have a problem?

It can be difficult to recognize when casual drinking or drug use has crossed the line into abuse or addiction. It can be even harder to decide that it is time to do something about it. Are drugs and or alcohol causing negative effects in your life? Have you experienced any of the following:

Driven a car while intoxicated or high?

Has your doctor told you that you have health problems caused by your drug and/or alcohol use?

Have your friends or family asked you to stop drinking or using drugs?

Have you experienced withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking your drug of choice?

Has your freedom been threatened due to choices you’ve made under the influence?

Have you harmed yourself or others while under the influence?

Have you lost your job or been kicked out of school due to drug- or alcohol-related issues?

Have you tried to quit but been unable to do so for any meaningful length of time?

Have you lied about your drinking or drug use?

Do you want to stop drinking or using drugs, but don’t know how?
