• Communicate regularly with families and supports regarding clinical progress and expectations
• Monitor treatment progress and adjust plans when progress stalls or clinical needs shift
• Facilitate assigned groups and participate in clinical meetings and case conceptualization
• Support crisis intervention as needed; coordinate with clinical leadership on escalations
• Coordinate discharge and aftercare planning with clients, families, and outside providers
• Complete all documentation within required timeframes and compliance standards

• 2+ years of experience in substance use treatment or co-occurring PHP/IOP settings
