Licensed Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Addiction Counselor/Program Manager

Job Description

General Summary

CCG is known for innovative programming in the realm of behavioral healthcare and addiction treatment. Our latest program is in the developmental stages and is in need of the right individual to help bring our exciting vision to fruition. We know addiction afflicts persons from all types of different backgrounds, and yet, the stigma still remains that addiction is an illness of the poor in inner cities. To dispel this, we are bringing individuals in recovery from a wider range of backgrounds together to share their similarities and differences of experience and perspective. Recovery occurs when an individual can reclaim their identity as a whole person who has something to give, and this program affords them that chance.

This position requires a thorough understanding of medication maintenance treatment and the recovery model. A working knowledge of dual diagnosis is essential as is the ability to work with a wide variety of individuals. The counselor / manager is responsible for ensuring clinical and administrative services are provided for patients and coordination occurs with their families and other providers. The right candidate must be able to work independently and serve as a working role model for other staff as well as the patient population.
