Make a Real Difference, Every Day

At Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health and Concerted Care Group (CCG), we've been changing lives through evidence-based addiction and mental health treatment since 1973. As one of the Mid-Atlantic's leading outpatient providers, we're looking for a compassionate, skilled Intensive Outpatient Program Therapist to join our Columbia, MD team and help patients build lasting recovery.

If you're passionate about client-centered care, thrive in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment, and want to grow your clinical skills alongside a team that genuinely has your back — we'd love to meet you.

Why Kolmac + CCG?

• 50+ years of impact as a trusted name in outpatient addiction treatment
• A culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion woven into how we treat patients and support employees
• An innovative, integrated care model that empowers clinicians to do their best work
• Real investment in your growth — training, tuition support, and clear paths to develop your craft
• A team that's still growing, with room for you to grow with us

What You'll Do

• Build genuine, collaborative treatment alliances with patients, adapting to their evolving clinical needs
• Facilitate addiction treatment groups at the IOP levels of care
• Deliver engaging addiction and recovery education presentations
• Conduct assessments, case management, discharge planning, and coordinate with referral sources and other providers
• Partner with the treatment team to address co-occurring psychiatric needs
• Complete evaluations for substance use disorders using DSM-5 and ASAM criteria
• Maintain clear, timely clinical documentation that meets state and CARF standards
• Track and contribute to measurable outcomes — retention, attendance, program completion, and treatment goal achievement
• Share on-call coverage on a rotating basis (about one week, a few times per year) to support patients in crisis
• Bring your experience in Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and trauma-informed care into daily practice
• Represent Kolmac/CCG with professionalism and positive energy, in and out of session

Direct patient care makes up roughly 55% of the role, depending on program needs.

  • Credentials (one of the following): CSC-AD, CAC-AD, LGADC, LGPC, LMSW, LCADC, LCSW, or LCSW-C (Maryland)
• 2+ years of experience in the SUD field (group treatment experience a plus, not required)
