Clarvida is seeking a Substance Abuse Specialist to join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team, supporting adults with severe mental illness who are also experiencing substance use challenges. In this role, you will provide integrated, recovery-oriented substance use services while working as part of a multidisciplinary ACT team. ACT services are delivered directly in the community—client homes, places of employment, and other local settings—to support stability, recovery, and long-term independence. You will conduct assessments, provide counseling, coordinate care, and connect clients with community resources aligned with individualized treatment plan goals. This position participates in a rotating on-call schedule (one week every 6–8 weeks). One (1) day of PTO is earned for each on-call rotation, regardless of call volume, to support work–life balance. What Is the ACT Program? Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is one of the most established and widely researched evidence-based practices for adults with severe mental illness. ACT provides comprehensive, person-centered services—including housing support, recovery services, vocational assistance, nursing, psychiatric care, and therapy—directly in the community. The goal is to help clients transition to lower levels of care or increased independence while improving overall quality of life.
