Description

Contribute your substance use treatment skills and experience to make a positive change in your community The Center for Mental Wellbeing, Thresholds' Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) is a one-stop shop for mental health and substance use services based in the south side of Chicago for families and individuals of all ages.

Meet clients where they are in their recovery journey, using harm reduction practices to encourage clients in all stages of treatment from preparation to action and relapse prevention. You will meet face-to-face with the client or guardian to assess needs, identify goals, and develop integrated treatment plans.

You will also do case consultation and crisis intervention.
