Lead the Charge in Addiction Recovery as Medical Director

Indianapolis, IN


The Impact You Will Make:
You will lead a high‑performing team and elevate the standard of care for individuals on their recovery journey—ensuring every patient receives sophisticated, compassionate, and evidence‑based treatment. Our client delivers a full continuum of ASAM‑aligned services, including Levels 3.7, 3.5, 2.5, and 2.1.

Patient Champion
You will serve as the primary clinical authority, ensuring that every patient receives evidence-based, compassionate care. By collaborating directly with the CMO, you will:
  • Define the Standard of Care: Shape and refine SUD policies and clinical pathways that align with ASAM Criteria, ensuring our facility remains a "gold standard" institution.
  • Be the Clinical Heartbeat: provide the specialized oversight necessary for complex withdrawal management and residential care, directly influencing successful patient outcomes and long-term recovery.
  • Guardian of Safety: Act as the lead physician for urgent medical conditions, providing the calm, expert leadership required during critical moments to ensure patient stabilization and safety.

Operational Excellence
A facility is only as strong as it's communication. You will be the bridge between medicine, nursing, and operations:
  • Leading the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT): You will facilitate weekly meetings that break down silos, ensuring that every department—from nursing to clinical—is aligned on a single, patient-centered goal.
  • Mentorship & Growth: Moving beyond basic supervision to provide deep clinical mentorship and case reviews that empower APPs to practice at the top of their licenses.

Guardian of Quality
Your expertise ensures the organization remains ethically sound, financially healthy, and regulatory compliant:
  • Quality Assurance: Through meticulous documentation audits and peer reviews, you uphold the integrity of our clinical records, ensuring we meet the highest standards for coding, billing, and patient safety.
  • Utilization Management: You will be the clinical voice in payer communications and medical necessity reviews, ensuring our patients receive the full scope of care they require.
  • Regulatory Leadership: Lead the charge in accreditation readiness (CARF, Joint Commission), positioning the facility as a beacon of compliance and clinical integrity in the behavioral health industry.

Requirements

Board Certification: Addiction Medicine (ABPM) or Psychiatry (AAAP/ABPN).

Licensure: unrestricted medical license (or eligible) in the state of practice and DEA license with controlled substance prescribing authority.

Education: Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) degree from an accredited medical school.


Experience

  • Minimum of 1–2 years of experience as a Medical Director or equivalent physician leadership role within a residential or inpatient treatment setting.
  • Expertise in the treatment of substance use disorders, withdrawal management, and co-occurring medical and psychiatric conditions.
  • Strong working knowledge of ASAM Criteria, regulatory requirements, and payer expectations.

Benefits

**Generous Relocation Package Available**

Benefits: Health Insurance (medical, dental, vision), HSA & FSA, PTO, sick time & holiday pay & much more!


Pay: The total compensation is a range of $320k + our client in Indiana offers a unique opportunity where physicians can strengthen patient care by utilizing professional billing.

This model strengthens patient care by allowing physicians to spend more time with complex patients, provide timely interventions, and deliver higher touch medical oversight, leading to safer, more individualized treatment and creates a additional income.
