About the Opportunity

We are opening a new ASAM Level 3.7 and 3.5 residential treatment center in Marshall, Missouri, providing 24-hour medically monitored and clinically managed services for adults recovering from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The Art Therapist will play a vital role in the interdisciplinary team by providing expressive therapy interventions that support emotional stabilization, trauma recovery, self-awareness, and personal growth. This is an exciting opportunity to help build a trauma-informed, evidence-based therapeutic program designed to foster healing in a high-acuity treatment environment.

This role supports clients in emotional regulation, coping skill development, and relapse prevention through creative, structured, and evidence-based interventions. The Art Therapist works closely with clinical, nursing, and support staff to ensure therapy services are integrated into each client’s comprehensive treatment plan and consistent with ASAM criteria and trauma-informed principles.
