About the Role

As a Substance Abuse Counselor you will provide individualized assessment, develop personalized recovery plans, and deliver evidence‑based therapy through secure video platforms.

Professional Development

We invest heavily in our clinicians by providing access to industry conferences, webinars, and in‑house training modules focused on the latest evidence‑based therapies, leadership skills, and cultural competency.

Our Mission and Values

Our organization is driven by a mission to empower individuals affected by substance use disorders through compassionate, evidence‑based care. We value integrity, client‑centered service, innovation, and collaborative teamwork. By joining us, you align with a culture that celebrates diversity, prioritizes ethical practice, and recognizes the profound impact of helping people reclaim their futures.

Why This Role Stands Out

Working remotely does not mean working in isolation. You will be part of a vibrant, supportive community of clinicians who collaborate through virtual meetings, peer‑support forums, and regular supervision. Our leadership emphasizes transparent communication, professional autonomy, and a commitment to your well‑being, ensuring that you can deliver high‑quality care without sacrificing personal health. This position offers the unique advantage of shaping the future of remote addiction treatment while enjoying the flexibility to work from any location across the United States.
