Licensed Clinical Therapist (SUD)

At Steadfast Health we’re a on a mission to deliver hope, healing, and long-term health to those experiencing substance use disorder, through best-in-class addiction treatment and an unwavering belief that lasting recovery comes from partnering with our patients as respected equals in their care journey.  We’re a passionate team striving to raise the standard of compassionate care for our patients, and we know that to do that, we must care for our people first.

That's why we're doing things differently, through an integrated, evidence-based behavioral health model that deeply supports both patients and clinicians.
