About Us: The Kolmac Difference

Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health has been a leader in outpatient addiction treatment for over 50 years. Our mission is simple: to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps individuals struggling with substance use and mental health challenges reclaim their lives. We’re expanding, and we need passionate, dedicated counselors to help us in this mission.

We pride ourselves on our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion—not just within our teams, but in the way we serve our patients.

What You’ll Do:

As an Addiction Counselor, you’ll be at the heart of our patient care team, providing in-person support and therapy in a state-of-the-art facility. This role will have you actively engaging with patients, guiding them through their recovery journey, and providing life-changing counseling. Some of the exciting responsibilities include:

Facilitating group therapy sessions in our Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)—helping patients build connections and gain valuable recovery tools.
Building meaningful, collaborative relationships with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that evolve with their needs.
Leading addiction and recovery education sessions that empower patients to understand and manage their recovery.
Partnering with other providers and support teams to ensure comprehensive care for each patient.
Keeping up with your clinical documentation (don’t worry, we’ll make sure you have the support you need to thrive).
Providing direct care, including case management, assessments, and discharge planning.
Bringing your positive energy to every session—whether you're leading a group or working one-on-one with patients.

You’ll be part of a strong team of professionals working together toward the shared goal of supporting recovery. No one person can do it alone, and that’s why collaboration is key. Together, we’re stronger.
