Why This Combination Matters
Addiction is rarely simple.
Often, a client struggles with more than one issue at a time. We frequently see substance abuse overlap with process addictions. These include behaviors like gambling or sex addiction.
Jeff understands these deep connections.
Without proper treatment for all issues, one addiction may simply replace another. Jeff’s combined expertise in substance use, sex addiction, and now gambling ensures comprehensive care. He ensures we address the root causes of the behavior.
A History of Dedication
Jeff brings over 20 years of experience to the addiction field.
He knows the Prescott House inside and out. He started his journey here as a primary therapist in our residential phase before 2010.
Since then, Jeff helped build the Prescott House into a treatment powerhouse. He did not do this by sitting in an office. He did it through hands-on work and continuous education.
Meeting Individual Needs
We do not believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
Jeff’s diverse training ensures that we meet the individual needs of every client. We treat the whole person. Whether a man struggles with substance use, gambling, or trauma, Jeff ensures our team has the tools to help.
Please join us in congratulating Jeff Martin. His dedication makes our community stronger.
