Why join banyan treatment centers?
Waelder and the surrounding communities deserve the same quality of SUD care found in bigger cities. As an LVN here, you'll be part of making that possible — bringing skilled, compassionate treatment right to the community that needs it.
Join a mission-driven, Joint Commission–accredited organization with the stability, resources, and reach of a national provider — serving a rural Texas community that counts on us.
Work with real backup, not just on paper — our Director of Nursing works nightshifts when needed and leads by example, so you're never navigating high-acuity moments alone.
Practice across the full continuum of SUD care — from detox through outpatient levels of care at a facility ASAM-certified at Levels 3.5 and 3.7
Work within a right-sized, 40 + bed facility where you can build genuine relationships with patients and colleagues, not get lost in a large or impersonal system.
Work per-diem, as-needed shifts — flexibility to pick up work around your schedule while still doing meaningful clinical work.
Keep your license current with CEUs that count toward re-licensure and CPR training provided at no cost to you.
Grow professionally in SUD nursing, building skills in assessment, crisis intervention, and collaborative treatment planning.
Bring your whole background to the work — whether you come from acute care, detox, or medical-surgical nursing, or bring lived experience with recovery, it's valued here (though not required).
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team committed to high-quality, trauma-informed SUD care.

Market context
In Texas, nursing roles like this often draw steady demand in dialysis and other patient-care settings because employers need licensed LVN/LPN candidates who can start safely and learn specialized workflows. These positions can be competitive when they require a current license, preferred dialysis experience, and completion of a training program soon after hire. Review the AI-summarized requirements and benefits here to save time, then confirm you meet the license, color-recognition, and training expectations before applying.
