Note: Although applicants must submit to a Criminal Background check, the field of Addiction Treatment and Recovery tends to provide a more understanding view of past substance-abuse related offenses, convictions, and personal treatment histories. Although past criminal offenses may not be an automatic disqualification, Revive Detox errs on the side of patient and staff safety and will evaluate each candidate with that aim in mind.
