You.

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a Certified Addiction Counselor.

Your compassion is tangible: whether it’s in support of your patients, their families or your colleagues.

You’re equally comfortable working with groups, families individuals, but you recognize and are passionate about the power of the group in supporting patient’s recovering from chemical use disorders.

You’re great at what you do and enjoy being part of a team with a shared mission based on caring, integrity and excellence.

Us.

West Pines Behavioral Health at Lutheran Medical Center is part of SCL Health, a faith-based, nonprofit healthcare organization that focuses on person-centered care. Our tight knit team specializes in helping adults ages 18 and older with psychiatric or addiction concerns.

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind and social well-being. To that end, we’ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.

We.

Together we’ll align mission and careers, values and workplace. We’ll encourage joy and take pride in our integrity.

We’ll laugh at each other’s jokes (even the bad ones). We’ll hello and high five. We’ll celebrate milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing.

We’re proud of what we know, which includes how much there is to learn.
