About The Position

At Prestige Healthcare Resources Inc. (PHRI), we don’t just provide care — we live compassion. Every day, our mission comes alive through the work of professionals like you — individuals who believe in the power of empathy, recovery, and human connection. We serve over 1,500 clients across two states, with an ambitious goal of reaching 10,000 lives across five states within the next few years. Our purpose is clear: restore hope and healing to individuals and communities through integrated, person-centered behavioral health care. At PHRI, we believe that true recovery happens when people are met where they are — not just clinically, but humanly. That’s why our Recovery Support Specialists are the heart of our mission. They walk beside clients, listen without judgment, and light the path toward independence and renewed purpose. As a Recovery Support Specialist, you are not just part of a team — you are part of someone’s journey back to self-reliance, health, and hope. This role is for those who see potential where others see obstacles, who believe that healing begins with trust, and who understand that small victories lead to life-changing transformations. You’ll work closely with clients in our Substance Use Disorder (SUD) programs, empowering them to rebuild their lives through skill development, emotional support, and access to essential community resources. Your role bridges care and community — ensuring no one faces recovery alone. This is more than a job — it’s a chance to be a catalyst for change in people’s lives and the neighborhoods we serve.
