If you've walked the path of recovery and want to help others do the same, this is your opportunity to turn your journey into purpose. You'll be part of the Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders (ITCD) team that values your voice and the power of shared experience.

About the ITCD Program:

The Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders (ITCD) program provides specialized, person-centered care for individuals experiencing both mental health and substance use disorders. Through a holistic, team-based approach, the program focuses on treating the whole person—not just symptoms—by integrating behavioral health and addiction services into a unified treatment plan.

As a Peer Specialist on the ITCD team, you’ll use your lived experience to walk alongside individuals in recovery, helping them build hope, develop coping strategies, and stay engaged in care. Peer support plays a key role in helping participants navigate challenges, celebrate progress, and stay connected to treatment and community-based resources.

• believes that recovery is possible for everyone
• wants to make a difference by encouraging others to take charge of their wellness
• eager to use their lived experience to inspire hope & resilience in others

If you're passionate about peer support, community connection, and being a trusted ally in someone’s recovery journey, this role is a meaningful fit.
