The Center for Addiction Management was founded in 2003 as an organization dedicated to helping all those who struggle with addiction find solutions that work over the lifespan. Although those struggling with addiction are the primary audience for this site, it is also designed to be used by professionals, those impacted by someone with an addiction, public policy makers, and the general public. Although writing for so many audiences can be challenging, in the end, everyone interested in the topic of addiction can benefit from information that is concise, accurate, and easy to understand – the ultimate objective of this site.

The center is based in Portland, Oregon, and managed by John Fitzgerald, PhD, LPC, CAS. Dr. Fitzgerald has worked as a clinician, researcher, trainer, and consultant in the field of addiction for over a decade, and brings to this site his unique background of experiences and education. He believes addiction is a multifaceted problem with many dimensions – thus necessitating the perspectives and views of many people. Perhaps the most significant strength of this site is that most topics are linked directly with folks who have dedicated their careers to important aspects of this problem and ways to deal with it.

Please note this site purposely does not accept any commercial advertising, or make suggestions about specific treatment programs.
