Supervisor of Detox

Village Health Center

At Father Joe's Villages, detox is more than withdrawal management - it is often the first turning point on a person's path to recovery. Our licensed Detox Program provides safe, 24-hour, trauma-informed care for individuals experiencing substance use disorders, co-occurring behavioral health conditions, homelessness, and other complex challenges. During one of the most vulnerable moments in their lives, we help clients stabilize, regain hope, and begin building a foundation for lasting recovery and wellness.

Success in this role means creating an environment where clinical excellence, accountability, and compassion go hand in hand. You'll provide confident leadership during complex situations, coach and develop staff, strengthen documentation and regulatory compliance, and foster collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
