Job Description
AOD Counselor – SUD / IOP Programs (On-Site | Oakland, CA)
Location: Oakland, CA (100% on-site – Baker location)
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (no exceptions, no remote/hybrid)
Type: Full-Time Seniority: Associate
Compensation: $70,000-$75,000 base + real growth opportunity
About the Opportunity We are a fast-moving, growth-stage SUD treatment organization in partnership with a respected, long-standing nonprofit in the Bay Area. We are rapidly expanding high-impact Intensive Outpatient (IOP) services for youth and adults.
This is not a traditional, scripted counseling job. We move quickly, expect ownership, and reward proactive problem-solvers who help improve care delivery — not just complete tasks. If you thrive in a dynamic environment where you can shape programs while advancing your career, this ground-floor opportunity is built for you.
Important – Please Read Before Applying
- This role is 100% on-site in Oakland, CA
- Schedule is strictly Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Remote or hybrid work is not available
The Role You will facilitate evidence-based group SUD services for youth (in-person) and support adult programming (telehealth), while actively contributing to program development and quality improvement in a collaborative, multidisciplinary setting.
Key Responsibilities
- Facilitate high-quality, evidence-based SUD/IOP group sessions for youth and adults
- Deliver relapse prevention education and recovery-focused coaching
- Complete timely, compliant documentation per DHCS Title 9 and Medi-Cal standards
- Support client intake, orientation, engagement, and treatment planning
- Collaborate closely with clinical and medical teams
- Provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive care
- Proactively contribute ideas and solutions as the program scales
Who You Are
- Currently registered with a DHCS-approved certifying body (CCAPP, CADTP, or CAADE)
- Committed to obtaining full AOD/SUD certification within 12 months (fully certified candidates strongly preferred)
- Experience facilitating SUD groups (youth or adults) — highly preferred
- Energized by a fast-paced, evolving startup environment
- Self-starter with strong ownership — you see what needs to be done and make it happen
- Excellent communicator who thrives in a high-accountability, team-oriented setting
What Sets This Role Apart
- Ground-floor impact in a rapidly scaling program with clear leadership pathways
- Direct influence on how services are built and improved
- Partnership with experienced nonprofit leadership for stability and best practices
- Mission-driven work that delivers measurable results for youth and adults in recovery
