At Briarwood Detox, part of the Nova Recovery Center network, we’re seeking a Part-Time Weekend Detox Counselor to support individuals during their first, most vulnerable stage of recovery.
This is not a desk job. It’s a chance to change lives—two days a week.

- Monitor the milieu to ensure safety and positive client interaction
- Collaborate with team members to ensure weekend continuity of care
- Accurately document client progress in the BestNotes system
- Support intern development (as needed) and act as a weekend resource
You’ll help clients feel seen, safe, and supported—from day one of their journey.
