Elevated Treatment & Recovery Solutions is seeking an Illinois-licensed physician to provide part-time medical direction and consultation as the organization expands its licensed substance use disorder services.

Our East Moline agency currently provides Illinois-licensed DUI Evaluations, DUI Risk Education, Uniform Report Updates, Secretary of State Denial Responses, and Secretary of State Investigative Evaluations. We are preparing for the addition of clinical substance use disorder treatment services.

This is expected to be a limited-hours contractual role rather than a full-time clinical position. Most work may be performed remotely, with occasional meetings or onsite participation as required by the final regulatory and operational scope.

• MD or DO with an active, unrestricted Illinois license.
• Eligible to practice and contract in Illinois.
• Familiarity with substance use disorders, behavioral health, primary care, psychiatry, emergency medicine, addiction medicine, or a related field.
