Maryville, Inc

I have had the privilege of working at Maryville Treatment Center for over 10 years, and I can confidently say that it has been an incredibly fulfilling journey. Starting at an entry-level position, I have been able to advance to multiple higher positions as I obtained the necessary credentials. Maryville is a company that truly values its employees, fostering an environment that is fair, ethical, and generous.

One of the things that stand out about Maryville is their transparency and open-book approach. From the very beginning, the company has been clear about its business practices, expectations, and long-term goals. Maryville  keep us informed about how the company is performing and encourage us to contribute ideas for improvement. Maryville is constantly growing and seeking ways to better serve the population of individuals who desperately need help.

What truly sets Maryville apart is the dedication of its counselors. Everyone here is genuinely committed to helping people in need. No one enters this field by accident, and those who do not share the same passion tend to move on. If you have a strong desire to be of service to others and make a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with addiction or mental health issues, Maryville is the place to be.

 Whether you aspire to be an excellent clinician, a peer counselor, or any other role within the organization, Maryville will support you from start to finish. They invest in your development and match your dedication with their own. The company understands that by empowering their employees with the necessary skills and knowledge, they can better serve their clients.

 As an employee, I have witnessed firsthand the commitment of the organization to its employees and the population it serves. If you are seeking a career where you can make a real difference in people's lives, Maryville is the ideal place to be. The company's fair and ethical practices, transparent communication, and continuous strive for improvement create an environment that fosters both personal and professional growth. Working at Maryville Treatment Center has been an immensely rewarding experience, and I am grateful to be a part of this remarkable team

This job has been great, with some major caveats. My coworkers are fantastic, the residential employees are amazing - from the directors, nurses, counselors, etc. There is a great team of people who are fun to work with. I enjoy most of my days at work, and the clients can be challenging but rewarding to work with. If you have worked in treatment before you will know what you’re in for. There are great opportunities for growth if you take initiative and pursue them (ie; tuition reimbursement and internal promotions). However, there are some structural challenges this organization faces that make life much harder than it should be for the operations. There was a CEO change in September, an electronic medical records software change, health/ dental benefit changes, income sources (grants) have disappeared, departments have been consolidated to avoid layoffs, building maintenance is a jaw-dropping money pit, there is excessive spending on HVAC and other misc things. All of these issues have created a lot of tension across this entire organization. It feels like we are barely keeping our heads above water and searching for spare change in the sofa cushions. Operations are the complete opposite of smooth and efficient due to the record software changes, at the expense of the clientele, and there aren’t enough people in upper management (C-level/ HR) taking charge of these situations in a way that will truly address the core of these problems. Many of the residential employees feels like we aren’t being listened to. I’m not so sure things are moving in a positive direction as an organization hopefully things can start to turn around. However, for now, there are plenty of opportunities that keep me showing up. For myself, I am able to work towards a CADC here which alone makes it worth it. 

No matter what you do you can not make any positive changes to help the clients. You are not allowed to connect in any form with the clients for a period of two years even after the client finishes their treatment. The environment can be very toxic at times for staff and clients. Fights happen often with clients and there is a hands off policy for staff members. Upper management can be unprofessional and go unpunished, but lower staff members get written up for minor infractions. There are no breaks or personal lunch breaks for CIT’s. You must stay on premises and eat with the clients in the cafeteria or at the desk. This job is best suited for people who are seeking something temporary. The turnover rate is extremely high. The shifts are 12.5 hours per day 3 days a week for CIT’s. There are supposed to be two 30 minute breaks per shift, but that never occurs. There is a monthly required meeting where things get talked about and nothing happens or changes. Good luck if you decide to voice your concerns. 

Helping people get off drugs and alcohol in a compassionate environment is probably one of the toughest jobs out there, but to me it's the most rewarding. You need to have excellent communication skills, strong personal boundaries, and be able to de-escalate situations and keep your cool at all times in order to make it here. There are opportunities for promotion to advance your career, earn clinical hours, and gain experience. Excellent benefits and 401K plan.  End of the year bonuses are great too. The place is a non-profit and qualifies for the public service loan forgiveness, which is a great help for paying off my student loans. 

Most of the direct staff (counslers, peers, admissions, nursing & dietary) are amazing & dedicated people. Most of the directors, human resources and the ceo are clueless. After bringing up my concerns in regards to several things, I was met with hardship & BS until I had to resign. As far as client/patient care, all I can say is that staff does their best, even taking money out of there own pockets for clients basic needs.  Be mindful they post jobs under different variations of the company name (Maryville treatment center, maryville addiction treatment center, etc.)  Its all the same company. 

An exceptional workplace fosters collaboration, trust, and innovation, creating an ideal environment for personal and professional growth. With a transformational leader and a supportive team dynamic, such a setting encourages adaptability and effectively leverages individual strengths—especially in the healthcare field. One of the most fulfilling aspects of this role is educating clients. Empowering them with the knowledge and tools to improve their health not only builds trust but also fosters sustainable, long-term change, enhancing both their well-being and your sense of purpose.

I loved my time working at Maryville. My boss was always kind and understanding. I was able to put family first and in that create an atmosphere of productivity at work. If you're looking to make millions, social work is not the field for you, but if you need somewhere that will let you be yourself, put family first, and make everyday exciting and teaching moment, Maryville is a great place to work .

What is the best part of working at the company?
Excellent staff. Great work atmosphere. Generous pay and raises. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Heavy workload at times. Clients don't always have the patience to wait.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family oriented. We all helped each other whenever possible. Staff worked well together.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Helping clients remove barriers towards recovery.

Directors and others in administration building don’t take part in everyday operations but have a lot to say. My direct supervisor was AMAZING but eventually was pushed to their limit as well. Revolving door of employees yet still understaffed. I liked the 12 hour shifts but the pay did not match the amount of work. All of this took a toll on the quality of care the clients were receiving, in turn taking a toll on their recovery journey. A lot goes unreported, otherwise that place would be shut down. 

Maryville is a great company that has helped many people. The work is tough and fast pased, but it is manageable and supervisors are supportive. Leadership is responsive to concerns and feedback of employees and they also have good ways of saying "thank you" to the staff. You can learn and grow a lot at Maryville.
