Director Medical Stabilization at Elios Talent
Job Description
Director of Medical Stabilization Department
We are seeking an experienced and compassionate leader to serve as Director of Medical Stabilization. This program plays a critical role in helping patients begin their recovery journey in a safe, supportive, and structured environment.
Patients typically enter through the Emergency Department, where we ensure they are medically stable. From there, they move to our stabilization unit to complete the detox process under close supervision. Once stabilized, they transition to an outpatient or ongoing treatment program for continued support.
About the Role
The Director will oversee daily operations of the Medical Stabilization Unit, providing clinical and administrative leadership to a dedicated team of approximately 40 employees, including three RNs and three CNAs per shift.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking someone with experience in Addiction Medicine, behavioral health, or psychiatry—someone who understands the complexities of detox and stabilization care. Success in this role depends on more than clinical skill—it requires creativity, strong communication, and a hands-on approach to building a positive, engaged team culture.
Our patients often face challenges beyond medical needs, so we value leaders who can help their teams keep patients engaged, supported, and connected throughout their stay.
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Nursing required; Master’s preferred
• Current RN license (state specific)
• Prior Leadership experience strongly preferred
• Background in Addiction Medicine or Psychiatric services
• Strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Ability to manage multidisciplinary teams and complex workflows
Compensation
• Competitive pay in the $140,000 range, commensurate with experience
• Comprehensive benefits package and support for professional development
If you’re an experienced leader who values teamwork, compassion, and creativity in care, we’d love to talk with you about joining our team at Wharton.
