Professional scope

Jason Ramirez is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor Level II (CADC-II) with 11 years of clinical experience in substance use counseling. His professional focus includes alcohol and other drug screening, substance use counseling, relapse prevention, co-occurring concerns, and SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment).

For MindCheck Tools, Jason reviews maintained interactive screening and instrument-information pages for source fidelity, scoring alignment where applicable, educational rather than diagnostic wording, safety language, rights boundaries, and appropriate limitations. Source publications and public-health guidance remain the authority for each instrument.

CADC-II is a professional substance use counseling certification. It is not presented here as a medical license or as a license to practice psychology, psychiatry, or independent mental health diagnosis. A website review is quality control, not individual clinical care.
