Gilead - Clinical Department Director of Addiction Services

Established in 1968, Gilead has over 50 years of experience providing the highest quality services that support each person’s recovery from mental health or substance use challenges in their lives. Gilead empowers personal growth, independence and recovery through improved mental health, physical well-being, and community integration.

CLINICAL DIRECTOR – RESIDENTIAL ADDICTION SERVICES

Gilead Community Services seeks a passionate and experienced professional to serve as Clinical Department Director of Residential Addiction Services. In this newly created role, you’ll provide clinical and administrative leadership for our flagship Farrell Treatment Program : overseeing multiple levels of care, supervising personnel, and ensuring services meet the complex needs of our diverse client population.

Why This Role Matters

For over 50 years, Gilead has delivered high-quality, person-centered services that support recovery, independence, and community integration. Unlike large healthcare systems, our work is grounded in real relationships. We know our clients by name and we put their needs first, even when the system doesn’t make that easy.

This is rare opportunity to shape the future of Farrell as it grows to include a new level of care. You’ll guide it toward clinical best practice while preserving its heart – providing the highest level of care to a high-acuity, high-need population that few others are willing or able to take on.

How You’ll Make Your Impact

Farrell is a cornerstone of our continuum of care, serving individuals with complex needs in a 24 / 7 residential setting. It’s fast-paced, high-intensity work, and this position is designed for someone who thrives in that environment and brings a sharp clinical lens, strong administrative skills, and deep compassion for the people we serve.

Lead high-quality, recovery-focused care

• Oversee clinical and administrative operations across residential addiction services, with a primary focus on the Farrell program.
• Ensure services align with Gilead’s mission and recovery principles, with an emphasis on trauma-informed, person-centered care.
