MA, CADC II • Substance Abuse Counselor
About
With over three decades of dedicated service in substance abuse counseling, Tom Stuck, MA, CADC II, brings a wealth of experience and a passion for helping individuals overcome addiction. His journey in the field began with a 22-year tenure at Kaiser Permanente, where he served as the clinical supervisor for alcohol and drug services and pioneered the outpatient treatment program.
Tom's expertise extends beyond his role as a clinician. As the architect of Kaiser Permanente's outpatient treatment program, he demonstrated his ability to develop and implement effective strategies for addressing substance abuse issues on a broader scale. This experience, combined with his hands-on work with clients, has given him a comprehensive understanding of both the administrative and personal aspects of addiction treatment.
After retiring from his supervisory role, Tom found that his passion for helping others remained strong. He returned to Kaiser Permanente for another decade as an on-call substance abuse counselor, further honing his skills and adapting to the evolving landscape of addiction treatment. During this time, he worked with a diverse range of individuals, addressing not only substance abuse but also the myriad of issues that often accompany it.
Tom's educational background includes a Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Cincinnati, providing him with a solid foundation in mental health principles. His certification as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor II (CADC II) further attests to his specialized knowledge and commitment to the field of substance abuse treatment.
In May 2018, Tom embarked on a new chapter in his career by joining the Lilac Wellness Clinic in private practice. This transition has allowed him to bring his extensive experience and personalized approach to a new setting, offering clients the benefit of his years of expertise in a more intimate therapeutic environment.
Beyond his professional life, Tom is deeply connected to the Salem community, having lived there for over 32 years. He finds balance and joy in various outdoor activities, including windsurfing, bicycling, motorcycling, and paddle boarding. These personal interests not only reflect his zest for life but also inform his holistic approach to wellness and recovery.
Clients working with Tom can expect to benefit from his years of experience, his deep understanding of substance abuse issues, and his commitment to helping individuals achieve lasting recovery. His approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, tempered by compassion and a genuine desire to see his clients succeed in their journey towards wellness.
