With our combined resources, CommonSpirit is committed to building healthy communities, advocating for those who are poor and vulnerable, and innovating how and where healing can happen, both inside our hospitals and out in the community.  The Substance Abuse unit is the first of its kind in Arkansas (brand new unit), and you will be an essential member of our team.  Do you have experience working in a medical detox, behavioral health, or psych unit?
