Psychosocial Rehabilitation Specialist PRS-Substance Use Disorder

At One Love, we believe recovery happens through connection, consistency, accountability, and community. We live by a Hawaiian word: hānai, to take in, to raise as your own. That is how we approach the people we serve, and it is how we approach each other. We work like a village—therapists, SUD counselors, PSR specialists, peer support specialists, case managers, administrative staff, and community partners each carry a piece of the work.

About the role

Recovery is about more than stopping substance use. It is also about rebuilding the skills, routines, relationships, and confidence needed to move forward in everyday life. As a Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) Specialist with One Love, you will work directly with adults participating in our Substance Use Disorder Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and Outpatient (OP) programs to help them develop and strengthen practical skills that support recovery and greater independence. This is hands-on, goal-focused work. The goal isn't to do things for the people we serve; the goal is to help them build the skills and confidence to do more for themselves.

Responsibilities

• Provide individual and group psychosocial rehabilitative services connected to each client's treatment plan.
• Teach, model, practice, cue, and reinforce practical skills that support recovery and everyday functioning.
• Help clients strengthen coping, communication, problem-solving, organizational, interpersonal, and daily living skills.
• Support the development of healthy routines and recovery-focused skills.
• Help clients identify barriers to recovery and break larger goals into achievable steps.
• Practice skills with clients in office and community settings when appropriate.
• Support clients as they move through IOP, OP, and toward greater independence in the community.
• Collaborate with therapists, SUD counselors, peer support specialists, and other members of the treatment team.
• Recognize and promptly communicate relapse risks, safety concerns, or significant changes to the appropriate clinical team member.
• Complete timely and accurate documentation showing the goal addressed, skill practiced, client response, progress, and next steps.
• Participate in required supervision, training, and professional development.

• An appropriately trained individual who completes required Utah Medicaid PRS training and works under qualified supervision.

All PSR staff must work under the supervision required by their credential and applicable Utah Medicaid requirements. Individuals hired through the trained individual pathway must complete required PRS training within the applicable Utah Medicaid timeframe.

Candidates must also:

• Have an understanding of substance use disorders, recovery, relapse prevention, and the barriers individuals may experience while rebuilding their lives.
• Be able to teach and reinforce skills in a practical, patient, and encouraging way.
• Have strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Maintain healthy professional boundaries and respect client choice and independence.
• Be dependable and able to manage an assigned schedule and caseload.

What Matters at One Love

We hold ourselves accountable to our Big C’s: Clients, Compliance, and Community Partners. Recovery takes a village, and lasting recovery often requires connection far beyond the walls of treatment. We are looking for someone who understands that recovery isn't built in one big moment—it is built through small wins, new skills, healthier routines, accountability, and learning how to navigate life differently.
