Akron, OH Full Time
POSTED ON 4/4/2026

The Opportunity

If you're a licensed clinician looking to make a focused weekend commitment, this role is worth a look. We're hiring a Weekend Behavioral Health Counselor to provide addiction treatment services across our PHP and IOP programs. You'll carry a real caseload, work within an interdisciplinary team, and directly shape client outcomes — this isn't a support role.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Conduct intake assessments and determine appropriate levels of care under Ohio Medicaid guidelines
  • Build and maintain individualized treatment plans aligned with Medicaid and facility requirements
  • Facilitate individual and group therapy sessions using evidence-based approaches
  • Track and document client progress, adjusting treatment plans as clinical needs evolve
  • Educate clients on addiction, recovery strategies, and relapse prevention
  • Collaborate with physicians, psychologists, social workers, and support staff for coordinated care
  • Maintain accurate, confidential client records in compliance with Ohio Medicaid and facility policy


Credentials & Experience

  • Active Ohio licensure required: LPC, LSW, LISW, LCDC II, LCDC III, or LICDC
  • Minimum 1 year of experience in addiction treatment or behavioral health
  • Familiarity with Ohio Medicaid guidelines and documentation standards
  • Strong diagnostic and treatment planning skills for substance use disorders
  • Comfortable working across diverse populations with cultural sensitivity
  • Collaborative, professional, and ethically grounded


What Sets This Role Apart

  • Weekend-only schedule — structure your week around it
  • Multidisciplinary team with real clinical support
  • PHP/IOP setting with meaningful client progression
  • Competitive compensation and professional development opportunities
