Join Heartview Foundation as a Licensed Addiction Counselor!

Are you a compassionate, motivated counselor ready to make a lasting difference in the lives of those seeking recovery? Heartview Foundation, a trusted leader in non-profit addiction treatment, is growing — and we’re looking for a dedicated Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) to join our team. If helping others find hope and healing is your calling, this could be the perfect opportunity.

About the Role

As a Licensed Addiction Counselor at Heartview Foundation, you'll play a key role in guiding individuals through their recovery journey. You’ll work alongside a multidisciplinary team to deliver evidence-based care in a supportive, respectful, and empowering environment.

Key Responsibilities Include

• Leading individual and group counseling sessions tailored to patient needs
• Conducting assessments and developing personalized treatment plans
• Utilizing evidence-based practices, including Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and harm reduction strategies
• Collaborating with medical and behavioral health professionals for coordinated, high-quality care
• Promoting an inclusive environment that honors each individual’s background and experiences

This is more than a job — it’s a chance to create meaningful change for individuals, families, and entire communities.

Why You'll Love Working at Heartview

• We’re deeply committed to supporting both our clients and our staff. Here's what we offer:
• Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) to prioritize your well-being
• 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance for employees
• 75% employer-paid coverage for dependents
• 401(k) with employer match to support your financial future
• Paid holidays for rest and connection
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for confidential personal and professional support

Additional perks such as sign-on bonuses, student loan repayment, and relocation assistance for qualified candidates

Requirements

What We’re Looking For We’re seeking a skilled and empathetic professional who is passionate about making a difference. Ideal candidates will have:

• An active North Dakota LAC license.
• Prior experience in substance use treatment or addiction counseling (preferred).
• Proficiency in assessments, individual and group therapy, and evidence-based approaches.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset.

If in recovery, one must have achieved a period of sustained abstinence and be able to demonstrate successful rehabilitation and stability.

Additional Requirements

• Successful background check.
• Compliance with drug-free workplace policies, including pre-employment screening.

At Heartview Foundation, every team member helps create a safe, recovery-oriented environment. We look for employees who are committed to recovery principles and healthy living, and who can demonstrate that commitment through their professional conduct and personal wellness practices.

Because of the unique role we play in clients’ lives, staff must also respect professional boundaries, avoid conflicts of interest, and recognize the power differential that can exist not only between providers and clients but also among staff members.

To ensure ethical standards are maintained, employees cannot be current participants in Heartview Foundation’s primary treatment programs. If an offer of employment is made, Human Resources will conduct due diligence to confirm the accuracy of this disclosure.
