Registered Nurse - Recovery Centers of Montana

About Recovery Centers of Montana

Recovery Centers of Montana (RCM) provides compassionate, evidence-based substance use disorder treatment across multiple ASAM levels of residential care. Our Ranch and Lodge programs serve adults seeking lasting recovery in structured, clinically supported environments. We are expanding our medical infrastructure and looking for skilled RNs who want to grow with us.

Position Summary

RCM is hiring two Staff Registered Nurses - one dedicated to RCM Ranch and one dedicated to RCM Lodge. Each nurse serves as the primary on-site medical resource for their assigned facility, responsible for medication management, health monitoring, nursing assessments, and medical coordination. The two nurses will work collaboratively to ensure consistent medical standards across both locations. As RCM develops higher ASAM levels of care, both positions are designed to evolve into lead clinical nursing roles.
