What Is a Career in Substance Use Disorder Treatment?
Working in substance use disorder treatment means helping people rebuild their lives through evidence based-care. At BHG, that purpose guides everything we do. Whether you provide direct patient care or support our centers in another role, you’re part of a team that helps restore lives, strengthen families and rebuild communities.
More than 4.8 million people in the U.S. live with opioid use disorder (OUD), yet far too many don’t receive the treatment they need. Choosing a career here means helping close that gap by bringing hope and making recovery within reach. It also means joining a community built on collaboration, compassion, inclusiveness and growth. People here often talk about how supported they feel, by leaders who listen and coworkers who show up for each other every day. This is meaningful work and you don’t do it alone.
