Provider (MD, DO, NP or PA)

Licensed Medical Provider | Hooper Detox | Central City Concern

Join Central City Concern’s Hooper Detoxification and Stabilization Center, where you will provide medical care to people in inpatient and outpatient withdrawal management.

As a Licensed Medical Provider (MD/DO, NP, or PA), you will work alongside the medical director and a collaborative care team, many who know firsthand the challenges of withdrawal and early stabilization.

You will manage acute and chronic conditions, write admission orders, and connect patients to a full continuum of care, from Hepatitis C treatment to specialty mental health and overdose prevention. You will also help shape how care is delivered through quality improvement efforts.

If you have a background in addiction medicine or mental health and a passion for serving people affected by homelessness and underserved communities, this is a chance to deliver care that offers the first rays of hope on a long journey.

Make a Real Difference

• Be there at the moment it matters most, helping people through withdrawal and early stabilization when your care can change everything.
• Serve people affected by homelessness and underserved communities alongside a team that leads with respect and a non-judgmental approach.
• Work shoulder to shoulder with colleagues who have walked the road of recovery themselves, living proof that recovery is possible.

Practice Medicine with Breadth and Purpose

• Never get bored: you will write admission orders, including medications for opioid use disorder, and manage both acute and chronic conditions.
• Bring your full clinical toolkit, from health histories, physical exams, and procedures to prescribing and treatment planning.
• Open doors for your patients to a full continuum of care, including Hepatitis C treatment, specialty mental health, and overdose prevention programs.

Grow Within a Collaborative Team

• Team up with the medical director, RNs, case managers, and pharmacy-based collaborative drug therapy programs, because no one here practices alone.
• Put your fingerprints on how care is delivered through quality improvement work and by helping onboard and train fellow providers.
• Step into the teacher’s seat by leading and joining provider education sessions on a wide range of clinical topics.
