Substance Used Disorder Counselor | $5,000 Sign On Bonus

Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health · Aberdeen, MD · 3 wk ago
On-siteOTHR$25–$30/hrFull-time

Since 1973, Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health and Concerted Care Group (CCG) have helped people across Maryland, DC, Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania rebuild their lives after addiction. We're growing fast — and we're looking for a counselor in Elkton who wants to grow with us.

This isn't a job where you'll feel like a cog in the machine. You'll carry a caseload that lets you actually know your patients. You'll work alongside a tight-knit, interdisciplinary team that has your back. And you'll get real support to keep developing your clinical skills — not just a paycheck, but a career.

About the role

You'll facilitate group and individual sessions across our IOP and OP programs, build real treatment alliances with patients, and work alongside a team that treats co-occurring psychiatric needs as seriously as substance use. No two days look exactly the same — but every day, you'll see the direct impact of your work.

Responsibilities

  • Build collaborative, individualized treatment alliances that flex with each patient's changing needs
  • Facilitate addiction treatment groups at both the IOP and OP levels of care
  • Design and deliver addiction/recovery education presentations
  • Lead case management sessions, including assessments, collaborative goal-setting, and discharge planning
  • Coordinate care with referral sources, family members, and other providers
  • Partner with the treatment team to address patients' co-occurring psychiatric needs
  • Apply Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and trauma-informed approaches in daily practice
  • Complete evaluations using DSM-V and ASAM level-of-care criteria
  • Maintain timely, accurate documentation that meets state and CARF standards
  • Rotate on-call coverage for patients in crisis outside business hours (a few weeks per year)
  • Bring energy and a "teacher's spirit" to recovery education, in and out of session

Requirements

  • Active Maryland credential: ADT, CSC-AD, or CAC-AD (required)
  • Minimum 2 years of experience in the SUD field (group treatment experience a plus)
  • Strong clinical, verbal, and written communication skills
  • Comfort working within an electronic medical record system
  • Familiarity with diverse recovery modalities: 12-Step, SMART Recovery, Women for Sobriety, Recovery Dharma, Harm Reduction, and more
  • A flexible, creative, team-oriented approach to a growing program

Benefits

  • Clinical supervision — keep growing toward advanced licensure
  • Full benefits: medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Life insurance and 401(k) for long-term security
  • Tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment support
  • Paid professional development time to keep sharpening your clinical skills
  • Paid vacation time because burnout doesn't serve anyone

Pay

$25–$30/hour, based on location, experience, licensure, and skill level

Schedule

Monday–Friday, 7am - 3pm, with occasional Saturdays. Expect to spend up to 55% of your week in direct patient care.

A genuine, lived culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion — for patients and staff alike. A program that's actively expanding, with real room to grow your career.
