Is This You?

This role is built for someone who has managed the day-to-day of an outpatient behavioral health, mental health, or substance use disorder treatment clinic. You know what it means to run a clinic where clinical caseloads, harm reduction philosophy, and patient census directly shape daily operations, and you're fluent in the specific rhythms of behavioral health care delivery.

Why This Role Exists

We're hiring the founding Clinic Director for our new outpatient SUD treatment center in Raleigh, NC. Steadfast Health operates clinics across multiple states, and Raleigh will be our next launch using a playbook refined through every prior launch: proven hiring processes, clinical protocols, and operational systems that let a new leader focus on building a strong local team and culture rather than inventing infrastructure from zero.

This isn't a from-scratch build: you'll have the benefit of Steadfast's existing operational playbook, clinical standards, and organizational support, while still getting the ground-floor experience of shaping your own team and clinic culture from day one.
