Job description

Registered Nurse (RN) – Behavioral Health & Addiction Treatment

Setting:Behavioral Health

Confidential Clinical Opportunity

A specialized behavioral healthcare organization is seeking an experienced Registered Nurse (RN) to join an interdisciplinary team treating adults with substance use disorders, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions.

This is not an acute inpatient psychiatric nursing environment. The program provides structured residential and PHP care with an emphasis on individualized treatment, interdisciplinary collaboration, and manageable patient volume. Nurses work closely with psychiatric, medical, therapeutic, and case management professionals to provide integrated care throughout the treatment process.

The Role

The RN will provide medical and psychiatric nursing support across the program, including patient admissions, clinical assessments, medication management, withdrawal monitoring, care coordination, and ongoing evaluation of patient needs.

This position requires a nurse who is comfortable working independently, recognizes changes in patient condition, and knows when escalation or additional medical intervention is necessary.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete nursing admissions and comprehensive patient assessments
• Monitor vital signs, withdrawal symptoms, behavioral changes, and overall clinical status
• Administer medications and monitor effectiveness, interactions, and potential side effects
• Perform medication reconciliation and provide patient medication education
• Develop and update individualized nursing care plans
• Support patients before and after specialized or adjunctive treatment modalities
• Perform appropriate nursing procedures within scope of practice
• Identify changes in patient condition and escalation concerns appropriately
• Respond to clinical emergencies according to established protocols
• Coordinate care with medical, psychiatric, clinical, and case management teams
• Educate patients and families regarding medications, diagnoses, and treatment recommendations
• Maintain accurate nursing assessments, medication records, progress notes, and other required documentation
• Participate in nursing rounds and interdisciplinary treatment meetings
• Provide compassionate, trauma-informed care while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries

Required Qualifications

• Active Registered Nurse (RN) license
• ADN or BSN from an accredited nursing program
• Current BLS certification
• 2+ years of professional nursing experience
• Experience within behavioral health, psychiatric care, substance use treatment, detox, or a related clinical environment
• Previous exposure to inpatient behavioral health strongly preferred
• Understanding of psychiatric conditions, co-occurring disorders, withdrawal management, and trauma-informed care
• Strong clinical assessment and critical-thinking abilities
• Comfortable making independent nursing decisions and escalating concerns when appropriate
• Strong EMR documentation and communication skills

Preferred Experience

• Residential behavioral health or PHP experience
• Addiction treatment and withdrawal-management experience
• Psychiatric or addiction nursing certification
• Experience mentoring or supporting other nursing staff
• Exposure to specialized behavioral health treatment modalities
• Bilingual English/Spanish

Schedule & Quality of Life

This opportunity offers a schedule that is notably different from many hospital-based behavioral health nursing positions:

• No regularly scheduled overnight shifts
• No nursing on-call rotation
• Staggered scheduling to support continuity between nursing shifts
• Rotating weekend coverage rather than every weekend

Candidates seeking to transition away from overnight hospital schedules, frequent weekend requirements, or ongoing call responsibilities may find this environment particularly attractive.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal RN combines strong clinical judgment with a genuine interest in behavioral healthcare and addiction recovery.

This individual should be comfortable caring for medically and psychiatrically complex patients while working collaboratively with physicians, therapists, and other treatment professionals.

They should also value an environment where nursing has the time and resources to develop meaningful relationships with patients rather than operating within a high-volume acute-care model.

Licensure & Relocation

Candidates currently licensed outside Colorado are encouraged to apply. Nurses holding an eligible multi-state RN license through the Nurse Licensure Compact may have a streamlined path to practicing in Colorado.

Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates, including additional support for select out-of-state hires.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• 401(k) with employer contribution
• Paid holidays
• Paid Time Off and sick leave
• Relocation assistance
• Professional development opportunities
