At Release Recovery, we are on a mission to transform how the world understands and treats Substance Use Disorder and Mental Illness. We offer comprehensive care-from residential services in our beautiful transitional living facilities to intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs at our Purchase, NY clinic. We are in the process of building out a Gambling Designation, and we are excited to be looking for a Primary Therapist to bring experience working with gambling, in addition to SUD.
