RN, per diem

The Regions Hospital Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program (ADAP) has been helping people since 1972. As part of this team, the RN will collaborate with MD/CNS to perform patient centered, safe, effective patient care based on age specific needs of patient population served. This nurse will also assist the MD/CNS in providing services in telephone triage, providing crisis management, data gathering and supportive services to perform related duties, as assigned.

About the program:
We believe recovery is a process, not an event, and everyone's path to recovery is different. These principles guide our clients through a full range of services from engagement to intervention, treatment, rehabilitation and support. We have strong relationships with social service and county agencies, and financial and housing organizations, and we help our clients connect with community resources to support long-term recovery. This program is designed for people who need a supportive environment, but who do not need medically supervised detoxification. There are both outpatient and residential programs available. There are also special services for clients being treated for more than one disorder.
