An Internship is an opportunity to learn, in real time, about a field of knowledge. We invite you to learn about the fields of mental health and substance use treatments. We have opportunities for 10-14 week Mentored/Internships. This is your opportunity to earn while you learn.
Programs are in San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara Counties. The Road to Recovery Integrated Care Center is accepting internship applications in a range of roles in their behavioral health treatment center.
Each intern will be partnered with a mentor. Interns will begin by shadowing and learning from their mentor. Mentors include an SUD counselor, a Peer Recovery mentor, a Homeless Outreach Worker and a Medical Assistant. These mentor positions were chosen to give interns an broad opportunity to learn from working with clients who struggle with substance use issues, mental health issues, live housed or unhousedand also basic medical office experience. Interns will have the opportunity to work with clients who have co-occurring disorders and assist in the operations of counseling and case management.
The Road to Recovery Integrated Care Center Mentored Internship Program is designed for undergraduate students and recent graduates wishing to gain work experience in behavioral health and human services in a healthcare setting. We welcome students who are enrolled or recent graduates. Selected participants will receive a stipend of $16/hour
