About Kolmac

Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health has been a leader in outpatient addiction treatment since 1973. After merging with Concerted Care Group (CCG), we now serve communities across Maryland, DC, Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania - and we’re still growing.

We specialize in evidence-based treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, operating on the belief that when clinicians feel supported, patients get better outcomes. That means a collaborative culture, real interdisciplinary teamwork, and leadership with clinical roots.

As an Addiction Counselor at Kolmac, you’ll be at the center of patient care - building strong therapeutic relationships and delivering high-quality, evidence-based treatment in our Hagerstown outpatient clinic. You’ll hold a blend of individual sessions, group facilitation, and case management, with approximately 55% of your time in direct patient care. The rest is split across documentation, treatment team collaboration, and care coordination.

• Build a genuine, individualized therapeutic alliance with patients that adapts to their evolving clinical needs throughout treatment
• Facilitate addiction treatment groups across OTP levels of care
• Provide substance use disorder evaluations using DSM-5 and ASAM level-of-care criteria
• Prepare and present addiction/recovery education to patients - embody the spirit of a teacher inside and outside of sessions
• Conduct case management sessions: assessments, collaborative treatment goals, and discharge planning
• Apply evidence-based modalities including Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and trauma-informed care
• Work with the treatment team to address co-occurring psychiatric needs
• Coordinate care across support services - family members, referral sources, and community providers
• Provide evaluations and maintain timely, well-written documentation meeting state and CARF standards
• Track clinical outcomes: patient retention, attendance, program completion, and treatment goal attainment
• Participate in a shared after-hours crisis on-call rotation (one week several times per year - details discussed in interview)
• Attend and contribute actively to treatment team meetings and professional development

This role operates Monday–Friday, 5:30AM–1:30PM, 6:00AM - 2:00PM, and 7:00AM- 3:00PM reflecting the needs of our patient population who require morning services before work or other daily obligations. Your afternoons are your own. If you’re energized by a structured morning rhythm, this schedule can be a real advantage.

Required:

• Minimum 2 years of experience working in the SUD field
• Active Maryland addiction credential: ADT, CSC-AD, CAC-AD, or CADC
• Strong clinical, verbal, and written communication skills
• Experience and comfort working with an electronic medical record
• Knowledge of multiple recovery modalities: SMART Recovery, 12-Step, Harm Reduction, Women for Sobriety, Recovery Dharma, and others
• Experience with Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and trauma-informed care approaches
• Flexible team player with a solution-focused, patient-first attitude

Preferred:

• Comfort working in a growing program with expanding services over the next several years
• If in personal recovery: minimum 3 years continuous sobriety (5 years preferred)

The pay for this position is $25–$30 per hour. Factors such as geographical location, relevant experience, licensure, education, and skill level may impact the pay for this position.
