We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc. Also remove application instructions (none). Remove duplicated lines.
We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe description of role), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (maybe Experience Required?), Qualifications (Education/Licensure/Certification), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (list), Pay (maybe Competitive Pay?), Schedule (Early morning hours). Also maybe include PTO etc.
We must not create sections with placeholder like "not specified". So only include sections where we have concrete info.
Let's extract:
About the role: The introductory paragraph describing role: "As a Substance Abuse Counselor you’ll engage with your patients with individual, group, and/or family counseling. You’ll work with a collaborative treatment team consisting of our Medical Director, Program Director, Treatment Services Coordinator, Counselors and Nurses to identify and meet the clinical needs of the patient and to assist in their overall well-being. For over 30 years, New Season Treatment Centers has been a leading national health care service provider of outpatient treatment centers that specialize in providing safe, quality, and best-in-class care for individuals living with Opioid Use Disorder ("OUD")." Also maybe "Curious what your day-to-day may look like..." but that's fluff. We'll keep substantive.
Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
Requirements: Experience Required: "Experience in the substance abuse field is preferred, but not required." That's a requirement but it's vague. Might be considered not specific? It says preferred but not required. Could be included but it's not a strong requirement. However we need to include only if real specific content. It's somewhat specific: experience in substance abuse field preferred but not required. Might be okay.
Qualifications: Education/Licensure/Certification: "Refer to the state-specific requirements for this position below." That's not specific; it's a placeholder. So we should not create Qualifications section if it's just placeholder. However there is also "Job Or State Requirements LCAS-A or full LCAS". That seems like a specific qualification: LCAS-A or full LCAS. So we can put that under Qualifications.
Skills: Not explicitly listed. Could infer from responsibilities but better not to create unless explicit.
Benefits: List: Early morning hours (Allows for a great work-life balance), Competitive Pay, Generous PTO, Excellent Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance, Life Insurance, Short/Long Term Disability, 401k with up to 3% matching, Reimbursement for education, license, tuition, etc., Referral bonus (up to $2,000). Also "Full benefits available on DAY ONE", "Start accruing up to 3 weeks of PTO starting on DAY ONE", "Tuition reimbursement opportunities are available", "Up to $2,000 in employee referral bonuses available". Those are benefits.
Pay: We have "Competitive Pay" but no specific number. The rule says do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It states "Competitive Pay" but that's vague. Is that considered stating? It's not a specific number. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". "Competitive Pay" is similar to placeholder? It's not a specific amount. Might be considered filler. Safer to omit Pay section.
Schedule: "Early morning hours (Allows for a great work-life balance)" indicates schedule. That's specific enough? It's a description of schedule. Could include Schedule section with that bullet.
We also have PTO info: "Full benefits available on DAY ONE", "Start accruing up to 3 weeks of PTO starting on DAY ONE". That's benefits.
We need to avoid duplication.
Let's structure:
About the role
As a Substance Abuse Counselor you’ll engage with your patients with individual, group, and/or family counseling. You’ll work with a collaborative treatment team consisting of our Medical Director, Program Director, Treatment Services Coordinator, Counselors and Nurses to identify and meet the clinical needs of the patient and to assist in their overall well-being. For over 30 years, New Season Treatment Centers has been a leading national health care service provider of outpatient treatment centers that specialize in providing safe, quality, and best-in-class care for individuals living with Opioid Use Disorder ("OUD").
Responsibilities
- Work with patients to complete intakes, admissions, discharges, and transfer paperwork.
- Document patient progress through counseling and interaction through groups.
- Complete patient psychosocial and an individualized treatment plan within the required time frame.
- Identify any clinical/case management needs and work to address those needs.
- Perform individual, group, and family counseling as required.
- Perform at least 20 hours of direct one-on-one patient contact per week through individual and/or group counseling sessions.
- Educate patients in all aspects of treatment, corresponding health issues and steps to recovery.
- Obtain Urine Drug Screens and initial patient photo identification.

Requirements
Experience in the substance abuse field is preferred, but not required.
Qualifications
LCAS‑A or full LCAS certification (state‑specific requirements may apply).
Benefits
- Full benefits available on day one
- Start accruing up to 3 weeks of PTO starting on day one
- Tuition reimbursement opportunities
- Employee referral bonus (up to $2,000)
- Early morning hours (allows for a great work‑life balance)
- Competitive pay
- Generous PTO
- Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Life insurance
- Short‑ and long‑term disability
- 401(k) with up to 3% matching
- Reimbursement for education, license, tuition, etc.
Schedule
Early morning hours (allows for a great work‑life balance)
But note we duplicated early morning hours in Benefits and Schedule. Might be okay but we could move early morning hours to Schedule only and not duplicate in Benefits. However Benefits list includes "Early morning hours (Allows for a great work-life balance)" as a benefit. It's indeed a benefit. Could keep in Benefits and not duplicate in Schedule. But Schedule section should have something specific; we could put "Early morning shift" as schedule. Let's keep Schedule with that phrase, and maybe remove from Benefits to avoid duplication. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Duplication is not ideal but not prohibited. Better to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Benefits list includes many items; we can keep early morning hours as a benefit under Benefits, and Schedule maybe not needed. But we need to decide if we include Schedule section. The posting mentions "Early morning hours (Allows for a great work-life balance)" which is schedule info. So we could include Schedule section with that detail, and not duplicate in Benefits. However Benefits also list "Competitive Pay", "Generous PTO", etc. Those are benefits. Early morning hours is more schedule than benefit but could be both. To avoid duplication, we can put early morning hours under Schedule only, and not list it under Benefits. But we need to ensure we still convey that it's a benefit? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep it under Schedule, still preserved. So we can omit from Benefits. Thus Benefits list: Full benefits day one, accruing up to 3 weeks PTO day one, tuition reimbursement, referral bonus up to $2,000, competitive pay, generous PTO, excellent medical/dental/vision, life insurance, short/long term disability, 401k up to 3% matching, reimbursement for education/license/tuition. Note "Generous PTO" duplicates with accruing up to 3 weeks PTO; but we can keep both? Might be redundant. Better to keep specific accrual and maybe not include generic "Generous PTO". However the posting says both "Generous PTO" and "Start accruing up to 3 weeks of PTO starting on DAY ONE". We can keep the specific accrual and drop generic. Similarly "Competitive Pay" is vague but it's stated; we could keep it as benefit. It's not a specific number but it's stated. The rule about Pay section: we shouldn't create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive Pay". That's a statement, albeit vague
