Job Description:
Introduction to IBH Addiction Recovery:

IBH Addiction Recovery (IBH) is a cornerstone in the Akron, Ohio, community, helping people recover from addiction and gain skills for a lifetime of sobriety. For adults with drug and alcohol addiction, including those with a co-occurring mental health disorder, IBH provides a tailored continuum of care, including Residential Treatment, Day Treatment, Outpatient Programs, Aftercare, and Recovery Housing, all complemented by spiritual guidance.

Since its founding in 1970, IBH has served tens of thousands of people from all backgrounds, striving to ensure that everyone who seeks addiction recovery finds a place of belonging, healing, and hope. As addiction continues to devastate families and communities, IBH remains at the forefront of addressing this crisis. With Ohio ranking fifth nationally in overdose deaths, IBH’s mission is more critical than ever, driving us to expand access to care and deliver innovative, evidence-based solutions for lasting recovery.

Treatment Approach and Values:

IBH’s evidence-based services and treatment approach follows the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s eight dimensions of wellness: Emotional, Environmental, Financial, Intellectual, Occupational, Physical, Social, and Spiritual. Additionally, IBH builds its treatment philosophy around four core values:

• Dignity: IBH values the dignity of every person.
• Community: Treatment at IBH occurs in a community, not in isolation.
• Stewardship (Outcomes): IBH believes that stewardship must be outcome driven and operate on a theory of change that will maximize our clients’ opportunities to develop a life of sobriety.
• Spirituality: People have a spiritual dimension. We are made for activities and relationships that align with our true calling and are worthy of our dignity as people.
