Sabino Recovery

I've been at Sabino for over two years now. Since joining the team, Sabino has quickly risen to be known as one of the best residential treatment centers for Trauma/MH/Substance Abuse in the country. Management has put a lot of time and energy into establishing a servant-leadership model, managing with a "bottom-up" approach. Sabino now offers a full-benefits package (medical/dental, 401k, etc.) along with ample opportunity for career growth. Working in the behavioral health industry, especially in a residential setting, comes with plenty of challenges but is never boring. The rewards of watching people change their life far exceeds the difficulties inherent is this type of work environment. Additionally, overcoming difficult challenges, together as a team, fosters a unique and tight relationship between coworkers. This lends a very special type of culture you won't find in the regular "corporate" world. Having a career in behavioral health, especially at Sabino Recovery, fills my cup from a career and personal perspective. 

A typical day work day is unpredictable which is expected in this line of work but the difference here is that you don’t even get the support you need from upper management. Upper management is about themselves and their money. They have zero loyalty to staff, especially new ones. They expect you to treat clients with white gloves, top notch customer service but are not willing to pay you top notch hourly. For want of better word, work culture is toxic. 
The hardest part of the job is dealing with rich and entitled clients who know that management will pick them over you if the need arises and the most enjoyable part of the job is working with some incredible co workers who you know have your back.

A typical day of work would start at the crack of dawn making food for "residents". The kitchen does a fine job of making it look like a decent place from the outside in but the chef while barely being in would expect you to be on his level. Which is barely much but honestly could do much better. Once you`ve made it through the lunch and dinner it`s time to clean and leave! Did I mention its a 12 hour shift? 
Bitter and unprofessional coworkers including the behavioral staff themselves that just gossip about each other. 
Youre better off at a in and out, at least they`ll respect you.

Your team and coworkers are the best part of the job and the work you do is a lot of fun and you help the residents and see their success. They don’t have many benefits and can be short staffed a lot. Food is good but you have to pay for it. No raises unless you’ve been there a long time. There is a lot of gossiping and there is no communication from your managers. Turn over is really bad even with the managers and they just fire or replace people with no warning. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The opportunity work with a skilled clinical team who truly care about helping people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Company is expanding while underinvesting in loyal staff who are already there.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is a very positive, family-like culture on the surface. But make no mistake, it's not a family, it is a business. There is a high turnover.

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at Sabino Recovery, I think there is  zero job security. I always had to walk on egg shells around everyone Employees that have been there for years think they run the place and don’t like change, making up lies about new employees. Employees are not protected and put in awkward situations with residents with no proper training.

Was promised extensive training for position which was never received. Very hard working people doing excellent and amazing things daily for the residents! Understaffed at times, and often fast paced. Helps if you fit in to the culture of recovery in your own personal life and are now dedicated to helping others recover. 

There is limited training if any, it’s your peers telling you some of the details. Everyone seems to have different ways of doing things so absolutely no consistency. No real Management in any of the departments. Setting is beautiful but the buildings are so old! The smell of the leaking sewage is unreal. 

If you’re looking for a job that will give you a sense of purpose and value, you will find that here. The employees are genuine and helpful of each other. There are many employees who have been there for over 5 years. We have lots of great benefits and are constantly adding to the list as we expand our company. 

Sabino Recovery is an excellent company and cares for the employees! This company is truly full of compassion and excellence. The company treat the employees with complete respect and the CEO is very involved!
