Dual diagnosis treatment is not for the faint of heart. It takes clinical rigor, operational steadiness, and a leader who genuinely believes that people with co-occurring disorders deserve more than a revolving door.
At Shine Mental Health, we serve adults navigating the intersection of mental health and substance use — some of the most complex, most underserved patients in the Central Valley. As our Program Manager, you'll lead the team that shows up for them every day.
About Shine
Shine Mental Health is an outpatient dual diagnosis program serving adults in Fresno, CA.
