Substance Abuse Counselor, Human Services/ Social Work
Description
We are growing our Behavioral Health Services team and are looking for an experienced Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP) Supervisor who understands that effective treatment is rarely one-size-fits-all.
This role is ideal for someone who has strong clinical fundamentals but knows that real-world practice often requires flexibility, creativity, and the ability to adapt in the moment. The individuals we serve are often navigating multiple barriers simultaneously—substance use, homelessness, untreated mental health conditions, trauma, medical concerns, poverty, justice-system involvement, and unstable support systems. Needs can change hour to hour, sometimes minute to minute.
We re not looking for someone who relies exclusively on a textbook approach. We re looking for someone who can walk into a shelter, supportive housing program, medical respite setting, or community-based program and assess what is needed in that moment—while still maintaining clinical integrity, regulatory compliance, and evidence-based practices
As a SUDP Supervisor, you ll provide clinical leadership and supervision while helping shape an integrated behavioral health program that meets people where they are. You ll work alongside another SUDP Supervisor and multidisciplinary teams to strengthen services across youth, young adult, adult, veteran, and housing programs.
