Overview

The goal of Groups Recover Together is to support those with addiction problems obtain lasting recovery with a three-pronged approach – medication, weekly group therapy, and care navigation. These core modalities are indispensable in achieving full recovery, and we are committed to providing excellent clinical care and team-based support to foster a sober life.

Responsibilities

We strongly believe that Groups Recover Together's counselors hold the key to our organization's accomplishments.

Those who have a love for group therapy will find the role of a Counselor to be the perfect match. At Groups, we are dedicated to changing industry standards by ensuring that Counselors are not overburdened. As a Counselor, you will have a unique opportunity to have a significant impact on members' lives. You will play a critical role in a cross-functional team that includes prescribers, care navigators, peer recovery coaches, and office managers. Our holistic clinical model prioritizes counseling, medication, and community involvement as fundamental to long-term recovery. This role comes with several critical responsibilities, including but not limited to:

• Collaborate with the treatment team and develop comprehensive knowledge on addiction and recovery, leading decision-making processes regarding the member's therapy sessions with the guidance of our clinical specialists.
• Efficiently allocate your workload to cater to the clinical demands of the region while enhancing your expertise, and maintaining an efficient and organized workflow in the office.
• Use our structured curriculum to direct two to three therapy sessions per day, totalling 10-12 sessions per week, which aid individuals in their recovery and enhance their social connections within the group.
• Take note of the development of team members by means of performance indicators (Core Milestones) and customer feedback (NPS scores).
• Actively participate in building relationships with local organizations and groups to foster a stronger sense of community support
• Help build awareness for Groups within the community by distributing customized written materials that highlight the organization's mission and tell its story
• Play a proactive role by attending meetings that advocate for substance abuse services and resources in your community

• Raise awareness of the Groups' goals by circulating brochures and other promotional paraphernalia in the local community
• Participate in community dialogue forums that focus on discussing the issues related to drug and alcohol abuse
