Assistant Director of Nursing
About The Position
Mountain Springs Recovery (an affiliate of Sunshine Behavioral Health) is more than a treatment center — we are a place of healing, stability, and hope. Located in Monument, CO our detoxification and residential programs are built on passion, integrity, dedication, and service. We believe recovery is possible for everyone.

Compensation ranges from $46 to $48 per hour, with placement within that range determined by licensure and level of experience. Schedule: The Assistant Director of Nursing must maintain a flexible schedule to provide coverage support for both RNs and LPNs as needed.
