When you are part of the SSTAR team you have an opportunity to change a life, change a family, improve our community and, to some extent, impact how addiction services will be delivered nationally and around the world.
SSTAR is on the front lines of the opiate epidemic and is an internationally-recognized leader in integrated addiction/primary care/ HIV AIDS/ mental health and domestic violence services. We work with the United Nations to improve addiction treatment in under resourced countries and frequently host public health officials from places like Russia, Norway, Kazakhstan, etc. Some of our staff, including frontline workers have presented at addiction conferences around the world. In our Research Department, we are conducting cutting-edge research that will guide the field for decades to come.
SSTAR is expanding to meet the growing need for addiction services. We’re planning to build a new facility in the North End of our city where we will nearly double the number of inpatient beds, expand Health Center services, and increase medication assisted treatment slots.
We’re looking for people who are committed to caring for patients and families and who have a strong work ethic. We especially value candidates who have an understanding of addiction, or can empathize with people who are struggling.
