## About the Role

* 2+ years of experience in the SUD field (group treatment experience a plus, not required)

## Description

* Meaningful work. You'll walk alongside patients at one of the most critical points in their recovery - and see the impact in real outcomes: retention, program completion, and successful transitions to lower levels of care.
 * A collaborative, inter-disciplinary team. You won't do this alone. Work alongside psychiatric providers, case managers, and fellow therapists who share your commitment to client-centered care.
 * Room to grow. Ongoing clinical supervision, a company invested in expanding access to care, and a program built to grow over the next several years - right alongside your career.

What You'll Do

 * Build collaborative, individualized treatment relationships with patients, adapting as clinical needs evolve
 * Facilitate addiction treatment groups at the PHP level of care
 * Deliver addiction/recovery education presentations
 * Lead case management: assessments, treatment planning, discharge planning, and coordination with referral sources and other providers
 * Evaluate substance use disorders using DSM-V and ASAM criteria
 * Partner with the treatment team to address co-occurring psychiatric needs
 * Maintain clear, timely documentation that meets state and CARF standards
 * Apply Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and trauma-informed approaches
 * Share the on-call phone rotation (roughly one week, a few times a year) to support patients in crisis outside business hours
 * Bring energy and a teaching mindset to group and individual work alike

Direct patient care makes up to 55% of weekly hours, depending on program and role.
