At Anuvia, we believe recovery is possible for everyone. As one of the Carolinas' leading non-profit behavioral health organizations, we provide a full continuum of substance use disorder treatment — from outpatient services to medically supervised residential care. Our teams meet people where they are, connect them to the support they need, and walk alongside them on the path to lasting recovery.

• Guide clients through admissions with empathy and professionalism, including initial assessments (vitals, UDS, ASAM criteria, preliminary diagnosis)
• Develop, monitor, and update individualized treatment plans in collaboration with clinical and nursing staff
• Facilitate group sessions on relapse prevention, recovery education, independent living, and community reintegration
• Complete person-centered care plans (PCPs), crisis plans, and discharge planning documentation
• Coordinate care within Anuvia and with community partners, referral sources, and families
• Maintain accurate, timely EHR documentation including NC TOPPS, GPRA, and incident reporting
• Participate in treatment team meetings, quality assurance activities, and staff meetings
• Flex schedule as needed to support residential staffing ratio requirements
