Licensed Behavioral Health Supervisor (SUD)

At Steadfast Health we’re a on a mission to deliver hope, healing, and long-term health to those experiencing substance use disorder, through best-in-class addiction treatment and an unwavering belief that lasting recovery comes from partnering with our patients as respected equals in their care journey.  We’re a passionate team striving to raise the standard of compassionate care for our patients, and we know that to do that, we must care for our people first.

This Role   

We are seeking a mission-driven Behavioral Health Supervisor to join our founding Nashville team, leading our clinicians and delivering whole-person, trauma-informed care to individuals with substance use disorders.

That's why we're doing things differently, through an integrated, evidence-based behavioral health model that deeply supports both patients and clinicians. For our clinicians, that means compassionate, expert clinical support, competitive compensation, caseloads that prioritize quality over quantity and preserve time for recovery, generous and flexible time off policies, and financial investment in your ongoing professional development.
