AOD

Revive Pathway is a Tribally owned clinic that treats a diverse population of patients, including Native and Non-Native people. We have the opportunity to provide whole person care, while managing patient substance use disorders, primary care, infectious disease, and mental health needs. We are building a team of dedicated and compassionate individuals.

Revive Pathway brings an innovative model of highly individualized, compassionate care to patients with opioid use disorder. From the moment someone walks through the door of our state-of-the-art outpatient facility, they will encounter our thoughtfulness and intention for a humanizing and respectful experience with us. The comforting and safe setting of our nature-inspired facility and the friendly, professional attitude of our staff help to define our journey with each patient—and with each other—from day one.

Each employee at Revive Pathway creates their own ripple effect in the larger circles of the families and communities that we touch. Are you ready to make a difference with us?

We are currently seeking a Substance Use Disorder Counselor to support our clinic in El Cajon, CA. This position, reporting to the Clinic Supervisor, is an excellent opportunity for someone excited to make an immediate and lasting impact in a growing company.

Position Overview

The Substance Use Disorder Counselor will be a source of kindness and empathy for patients who are trying to find their way to a better life. Revive Pathway treats patients with respect and honors their efforts to improve their health. To win in this health care crisis, we understand that we are in the trenches with those who are struggling, but the battle is theirs. We are here to empower them and to be a source of positivity. But we do not impose our values, and we do not force change. Revive Pathway embraces motivational interviewing and a harm reduction philosophy. We believe in being nice and optimistic, and we also practice scientific rigor. The ideal candidate will be a team player who is ready to jump into new challenges and opportunities, loves learning new things, and is interested in cross-training opportunities.
