Job Description

Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor II (LADAC II)

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — Whitwell, TN

Full-Time | On-Site

Company Description

Phoenix Rural Health is committed to strengthening and revitalizing healthcare delivery in rural communities. We understand the unique pressures faced by rural facilities — from financial constraints to access challenges and limited specialty services — and we develop sustainable solutions that expand care access close to home.

As part of this mission, Phoenix Rural Health is establishing a comprehensive Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) designed to provide structured, evidence-based behavioral health and substance use services while allowing participants to remain active in their families, jobs, and communities.

Our objective is simple: improve outcomes, reduce barriers, and provide compassionate, high-quality care where it is needed most.

Role Description

Phoenix Rural Health is seeking a highly motivated Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor II (LADAC II) to serve as a core clinician within our Intensive Outpatient Program in Whitwell, Tennessee.

This full-time, on-site role will be responsible for:

  • Conducting comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments and ASAM-aligned evaluations.
  • Developing individualized IOP treatment plans that are goal-driven, measurable, and clinically appropriate.
  • Facilitating structured individual, group, and family counseling sessions within the IOP schedule.
  • Delivering evidence-based programming, including relapse-prevention, cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed approaches.
  • Coordinating with medical providers, primary care staff, psychiatric services, and case management to ensure continuity of care.
  • Monitoring progress, documenting outcomes, and adjusting plans as clinically necessary.
  • Ensuring compliance with state licensure rules, payer requirements, documentation standards, and program policies.
  • Participating in clinical case reviews, treatment team meetings, and quality improvement activities.
  • Supporting referrals to higher or lower levels of care when clinically indicated.

The LADAC II will play an integral role in shaping the clinical culture of the program, supporting patient stabilization, recovery engagement, and long-term treatment success.

Qualifications
  • Valid LADAC II licensure in the State of Tennessee (required).
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, or a closely related field.
  • Demonstrated experience in substance use treatment, preferably within an IOP, PHP, or comparable structured program.
  • Strong competency in assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning.
  • Familiarity with co-occurring behavioral health disorders and integrated care models.
  • Proficiency in secure, compliant clinical documentation and use of electronic health records.
  • Excellent communication and therapeutic engagement skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
  • Experience serving rural, underserved, or safety-net populations is highly desirable.
  • Commitment to culturally competent, patient-centered, and equitable care delivery.
Why Join Phoenix Rural Health
  • Opportunity to build and shape an emerging IOP program serving a meaningful community need.
  • Mission-driven organization focused on improving access and outcomes in rural healthcare.
  • Collaborative environment with leadership support and clinical input valued.
  • Competitive compensation package commensurate with licensure and experience.
