About the role

Horizon Services, Inc., Palm Avenue Detox in California, seeks a Forensic Peer Specialist/SUD Counselor 1 to support clients as they enter treatment, provide relapse prevention coaching, and monitor vital signs as needed. You will deliver group and individual sessions, help families understand recovery processes, document in the EHR, and collaborate with the Program Manager to ensure timely referrals and smooth discharge planning.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
