Practice for this role

About the role

The Nurse Practitioner provides supportive medical care and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to clients across multiple facilities. They are responsible for performing initial assessments, physical exams, and coordinating health statuses with the nursing and social services departments.

Nurse practitioner sud treatment

CRI-Help is a substance use disorder treatment center with several locations across Los Angeles County.

We've been around since 1971 and are noted as an organization practicing integrity in our commitment to ethical and meaningful client care.

Our mission is to improve the welfare of the community by providing first-class substance use disorder treatment to adults and families seeking freedom from the bondage of addiction, and we live out that mission everyday with our staff and clients.

As a nonprofit organization, CRI-Help is a qualifying employer affording our full-time employees the opportunity to begin, or continue, the process of seeking PSLF (Public Service Loan Forgiveness).

In addition, our benefits package for full-time employees is quite robust- especially the option for 100% employer-paid Medical insurance, including an additional 40% paid coverage for dependents, which accompanies our 401k with 4% match option nicely.

Please see the full list of benefits below, especially the 12 paid holidays per year (we are a 24/7 facility, so not all employees will be able to take all 12 paid holidays off- but will still get paid for the holiday in addition to their hours worked).

CRI-Help is an amazing organization to be a part of and I strongly encourage you to consider joining the team!

We opened a new facility in Lincoln Heights in January 2025 and are still hiring for all roles- keep referring back to https://crihelp.bamboohr.com/careers/ for current openings at all sites.
