Clinical Counselor - Residential Services bei undefined

Improving Lives.  Improving Communities.
  

LRADAC offers a wide array of prevention, intervention and treatment programs in both Lexington and Richland counties. We tailor our programs to meet the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve.  Our prevention, intervention and treatment programs spread the message that there is hope and that substance misuse and addiction are preventable and treatable.   

In support of our purposes to improve communities, we are expanding our in-patient services beyond medical detoxification to reduce barriers to accessing necessary residential treatment for opioid-use and co-occurring substance use disorders by creating a new residential treatment program. This SCORF (South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund) grant-funded Clinical Counselor provides individual and group counseling of an advanced nature to patients residing in LRADAC’s Residential Treatment Program.
