Addiction Recovery Center: Outdoor Guide

Job description

Balance House is a 4-phase, year-long continuum of care aimed at helping young adult men recover from substance abuse and mental health issues. We are an owner-operated [no private equity], values-driven company; our mission is to help our clients build lives of integrity, meaning, and independence. Our philosophy is non-prescriptive, non-punitive, collaborative, and relational. Almost no one likes being told what to do, and our clients are no exception; we establish relationships of love and trust with our clients, then leverage it to create constructive, life-positive momentum in their lives.

A person can spend their entire life either defending who they are, or becoming who they want to be—we help our clients to move from the former group to the latter. Honesty, personal accountability, and values-congruent behavior are indispensable components of the Balance House ethos for both clients *and* staff, but so is the ability to make (and take) a joke—we believe that if you aren’t having fun, you aren’t taking life seriously enough.
