Behavioral Health Technician - Entry Level W/ Benefits

The Lakes is seeking individuals that are looking for a career opportunity, not just a job; we want individuals to join our team that are looking to grow with The Lakes for the long-term!

Candidates with little to no experience but with motivation and work ethic will be considered.

We are very excited to announce that we are now offering benefits to all employees!

The Lakes is located on the beautiful Lake Tulloch waterfront. We are licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services to treat substance misuse and co-occurring disorders, certified to provide onsite Incidental Medical Services, and designated by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) to provide low and high intensity residential treatment. Additionally, The Lakes Treatment Center has received accreditation from The Joint Commission, one of the most esteemed and respected accreditation agencies in the nation.

The Lakes is not your normal residential care home, we are an addiction treatment facility! Treating addiction bring its own challenges, but it also means that you won’t have to do many of the “less desirable” duties required in most care homes (i.e., lifting/ambulating patients, toileting, bathing, or cleaning nasty stuff). Instead, duties here revolve around supervision and facilitation of daily schedules including group sessions, mealtimes, and other activities.

All of this and the ability to make a huge impact on the lives of hundreds and thousands of individuals make The Lakes an incredible and rewarding place to work, learn, and grow!

Our Mission and Philosophy

Our mission is to offer individuals struggling with substance misuse and co-occurring disorders the opportunity to develop a strong foundation in recovery from which a life free of substance misuse may be built.

Our treatment philosophy revolves around the individual, incorporating a variety of therapeutic components thoughtfully combined to create an effective treatment program that reflects the individuality of those we serve. Each person we serve brings with them a unique personality that has been shaped by their own personal journey. No two individuals’ path to recovery will be the same just as no two individuals take the same path to treatment. Our program will promote this uniqueness.
