Brooklyn, MD | On-Site | $25–$30/hr | Schedule: Monday–Friday, 5:00 AM–1:00 PM

Since 1973, Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health and Concerted Care Group (CCG) have helped people across Maryland, DC, Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania rebuild their lives after addiction. We're growing fast — and we're looking for a counselor in Brooklyn, MD who wants to grow with us.

This isn't a job where you'll feel like a cog in the machine. You'll carry a caseload that lets you actually know your patients. You'll work alongside a tight-knit, interdisciplinary team that has your back. And you'll get real support to keep developing your clinical skills — not just a paycheck, but a career.

If you're an experienced, licensed addiction counselor who wants to do meaningful work without burning out, keep reading.

A Day in This Role

You'll facilitate group and individual sessions across our IOP group programs, build real treatment alliances with patients, and work alongside a team that treats co-occurring psychiatric needs as seriously as substance use. No two days look exactly the same — but every day, you'll see the direct impact of your work.

What You'll Do

• Build collaborative, individualized treatment alliances that flex with each patient's changing needs
• Facilitate addiction treatment groups at the IOP level of care
• Design and deliver addiction/recovery education presentations

• Coordinate care with referral sources, family members, and other providers
• Partner with the treatment team to address patients' co-occurring psychiatric needs
• Apply Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and trauma-informed approaches in daily practice
• Complete evaluations using DSM-V and ASAM level-of-care criteria
• Maintain timely, accurate documentation that meets state and CARF standards
• Rotate on-call coverage for patients in crisis outside business hours (a few weeks per year)
• Bring energy and a "teacher's spirit" to recovery education, in and out of session

What You Bring

• Active Maryland credential: ADT, CSC-AD, or CAC-AD (required)
• Minimum 2 years of experience in the SUD field (group treatment experience a plus)
• Strong clinical, verbal, and written communication skills
• Comfort working within an electronic medical record system
• Familiarity with diverse recovery modalities: 12-Step, SMART Recovery, Women for Sobriety, Recovery Dharma, Harm Reduction, and more
• A flexible, creative, team-oriented approach to a growing program

Why Counselors Choose Kolmac + CCG

• Competitive pay: $25–$30/hour, based on location, experience, licensure, and skill level
• Clinical supervision — keep growing toward advanced licensure
• Full benefits: medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Life insurance and 401(k) for long-term security
• Tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment support
• Paid professional development time to keep sharpening your clinical skills
• Paid vacation time because burnout doesn't serve anyone
• A genuine, lived culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion — for patients and staff alike
• A program that's actively expanding, with real room to grow your career
