James Staggs
James Staggs C.A.D.C. started turning addiction lives around beginning in 1995 in Orange County, California. Beginning as a counselor in the adolescent program, James’ dedication and ability to motivate adolescents to recover from their addictions prompted his growth into the Case Manager and Lead Counselor roles for the program.
In 1996, James continued to help suffering people recover from addiction through the Tough Love Groups, as well as his part-time role in a residential adult program in Orange County, CA.
Continuously honing his ability to understand the roots of clients’ addiction, as well as helping them successfully overcome their diseases, James became a Clinical Director, supervising over 20 staff members and the treatment for a 50 bed adult facility. Working hand-in-hand with clients and their families in all aspects in the journey of treatment, James has helped countless individuals successfully embark on the road to recovery.
It is with deep enthusiasm and passion that James founded JastaPlace Services, Inc., an adult treatment program located in the greater Palm Springs, California area. With a team of professionals guiding you and your family from the first call, throughout the phases of treatment, and thorough aftercare, you can finally capture your life once again with long-term sobriety.
