About the Role

Clarvida is seeking a Substance Abuse Specialist to join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team, supporting adults with severe mental illness who are also experiencing substance use challenges. In this role, you will provide integrated, recovery-oriented substance use services while working as part of a multidisciplinary ACT team.

ACT provides comprehensive, person-centered services-including housing support, recovery services, vocational assistance, nursing, psychiatric care, and therapy-directly in the community.
