Aloha, and welcome.

We are One Love Agency, and we are looking for a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Specialist (PSR) to join our growing Substance Use Disorder IOP and OP program in Utah.

Before we tell you about the job, we want to tell you a little about us because if this is the right fit, we want you to feel it.

At One Love, we believe recovery happens through connection, consistency, accountability, and community.

We live by a Hawaiian word: hŋnā, to take in, to raise as your own.

That is how we approach the people we serve, and it is how we approach each other.

We work like a village. Therapists, SUD counselors, PSR specialists, peer support specialists, case managers, administrative staff, and community partners each carry a piece of the work.

Recovery is about more than stopping substance use. It is also about rebuilding the skills, routines, relationships, and confidence needed to move forward in everyday life.

That is where psychosocial rehabilitation comes in.

As a PSR Specialist with One Love, you will work directly with adults participating in our SUD IOP and OP programs to help them develop and strengthen practical skills that support recovery and greater independence.

This is hands on, goal focused work. The goal isn't to do things for the people we serve. The goal is to help them build the skills and confidence to do more for themselves.

• Support the development of healthy routines and recovery focused skills.

• Support clients as they move through IOP, OP, and toward greater independence in the community.
• Collaborate with therapists, SUD counselors, peer support specialists, and other members of the treatment team.
• Recognize and promptly communicate relapse risks, safety concerns, or significant changes to the appropriate clinical team member.
• Complete timely and accurate documentation showing the goal addressed, skill practiced, client response, progress, and next steps.
• Participate in required supervision, training, and professional development.
