SUMMARY

The Recovery Services Director oversees the overall success of all Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services in a manner that is consistent with RS EDEN’s mission and vision. The Director is the principal manager of all Recovery Services programming and sites, responsible for driving clinical outcomes and fiscal performance while ensuring a positive environment for participants, staff, and community stakeholders.

RS EDEN specializes in serving a population with complex, multi-systemic and multi-generational trauma. The work of recovery and healing is a critical part of our mission and our vision. It is required that the Director of Recovery Services will have a License in Drug and Alcohol Counseling or equivalent. Professional experience and a personal understanding of substance use disorders, and fields related to reentry, homelessness prevention, and mental health is essential.

Success is only possible if the leader of our Recovery Services carries a passion for justice and equity and believes whole-heartedly in second chances. They should also have a strong orientation towards process and understanding of a fee-for-service business model. They will crave collaboration because they believe teams are stronger than individuals and will not be intimidated by the rollercoaster experience of building a program from the ground up.

Leadership in the industry of substance use treatment requires the highest degree of personal and professional aptitude, including an approach that balances the need for constant innovation and adaptability alongside an attitude that is both energizing and yet reassuring, even in the midst of crisis. The ability to exercise effective time management, respectful boundaries, and sound judgment is essential. A candidate must be able to devote the time and energy required, but understand the personal and organizational value of successful prioritization and collaboration in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

Pay ranges from $65,000-$100,000 annually
