Build the team. Strengthen the program. Create a place where recovery can take hold.  

At Addictions Recovery Center (ARC), we believe some of the most meaningful work in recovery happens in everyday life. It happens through the routines people build, the relationships they develop, the challenges they work through, and the confidence they gain as they begin putting recovery into practice. 

As our 3.1 Residential Program Manager , you'll help create an environment where that growth can happen every day. 

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity to oversee the daily operations of our ASAM Level 3.1 residential program while supporting a dedicated team committed to helping individuals build stability, strengthen recovery skills, and prepare for greater independence. 

You'll play an important role in developing staff, strengthening communication, creating consistency across shifts, and ensuring our residential program remains safe, supportive, trauma-informed, and recovery-focused. 

What You'll Do  

• Lead, coach, mentor, and support Residential Support Specialists and Certified Recovery Mentors. 
• Oversee daily residential operations, including staffing, scheduling, and coverage within a 24/7 program.

• Proficiency with Electronic Health Records (EHR), scheduling systems, Microsoft Office, and other relevant technology. 

Preferred Qualifications

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role? We're looking for someone who leads with compassion while providing clear direction and accountability. Someone who remains calm when challenges arise, values collaboration, communicates openly, and understands the importance of creating an environment where both clients and staff feel respected and supported. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who believes in recovery and the possibility of meaningful, lasting change.
