Remote Cadc Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Groups Recover Together was founded in 2014 to make treatment for opioid addiction respectful, accessible and affordable. We empower our members to regain control of their lives through a combination of community support, outpatient weekly group therapy and medication to manage withdrawal using buprenorphine and naltrexone. 

What differentiates Groups is the belief that long-term recovery from opioids is tied to aspects of life that are beyond the reach of traditional medical care. We approach fighting addiction as a team sport and provide each member with a care team that works together to ensure our members receive comprehensive, coordinated care. Our outpatient model is designed to fit into our member's schedules so they can keep working and living a normal life.  As a result, our outcomes reflect the success of our model and the commitment of our members with 74% remaining in treatment after 6 months, 90% attending group therapy each week and 89% abstaining from illicit substances each week.

Groups has grown to become the national leader in value-based care for opioid use disorder that is proven to help our members beat addiction and get their lives back. 

At Groups, the Admissions Counselor leads the treatment team, alongside providers, care navigators, and administrators. The Admissions Counselor is the expert on addiction and recovery, and coordinates decisions about the member's treatment. Meanwhile, providers are asked to focus on what they do best: medication management. By putting seasoned, compassionate Admissions Counselors in the lead, and minimizing bureaucracy at every turn, we're able to deliver care that is both more affordable and of higher quality than the status quo.
