Evening Therapist - Crisis Stabilization and Detox Unit

Are you passionate about counseling individuals during a critical time in their recovery from mental health and substance use disorders?

Join our team to:

• be on front lines of new treatment modalities for substance use disorders
• use your clinical skills to develop creative, impactful group therapy programs to treat individuals experiencing mental health crisis
• play a vital role in providing innovative group therapy programs, medication-assisted treatment, and crisis interventions to help clients achieve lasting recovery

Key Responsibilities:

• Facilitate group therapy sessions
• Conduct comprehensive assessments and develop personalized treatment plans
• Provide crisis interventions and support during medically supervised detoxifications
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to ensure seamless care transitions and discharge planning
• Document client interactions and progress in accordance with clinical standards

About Our Crisis Stabilization and Detox Unit:

Our unit provides short-term (3 to 15 day) in-patient stabilization for individuals who have symptoms of mental illness that could, if not addressed, result in a need for hospitalization. This service also offers medically supervised detoxification from alcohol and other drugs. Those needing both detoxification and support for symptoms of mental illness are served. Services are provided in a recovery-oriented environment, and include skills training, psychiatric care, 12-step recovery groups on-site, and discharge planning to assure continuity of care in transitioning to outpatient services.

We provide medication assisted treatment, and our therapists are instrumental in this successful treatment for those suffering with substance use. Evening hours allow for you to facilitate innovative programming that complements the more structured daytime scheduling for those in treatment for both substance use and mental health disorders. We have an awesome staff and very supportive management. This is a program where you can make a huge difference in someone's life and assist them toward healthy functioning and positive relationships!
