About the roleOur Nashville clinic opened in March 2026 and has grown significantly in a short time. This is a
new, growth-driven position, not a backfill, and you'll be joining a clinic where demand for care is already strong.
We're looking for an experienced APP to practice at the top of their license in a supportive, evidence-based addiction medicine model. You'll join two other APPs as part of a multidisciplinary clinic team that includes three therapists, a medical assistant, an LPN, a Peer Recovery Specialist, and a Clinic Manager.

You're helping shape the future of addiction treatment.
