About Our Company
Evexia Health Services is an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) that specializes in treating individuals with opioid use disorder. We utilize a combination of counseling services and medication assisted treatment options, like methadone and buprenorphine (suboxone/subutex), in an outpatient setting to treat our patients.
Our treatment philosophy is based on the understanding that addiction is a chronic disease, not a moral failing. Individuals suffering from opioid use disorder need and deserve evidence-based treatment in an environment where patients feel welcome, comfortable, and, most importantly, respected.
Since no two people are the same, we center our program around collaborative treatment plans that meet the patients where they are in their recovery journey and address individual needs.
We are looking to hire individuals who have similar views on treatment and are interested in working in an outpatient setting that specializes in the use of medication assisted treatment options. If that is you, please review the job description below and apply!
