We are looking for a dedicated Certified Nurse Practitioner for our Adult Community Crisis Stabilization (CCS) Unit.
Aspire CCS offers a warm, comfortable, and safe environment designed to support individuals in need of short-term stabilization care. The facility includes eight (8) beds and serves as both an alternative to inpatient hospitalization and a step-down option for those transitioning from a higher level of care. Services focus on helping clients reintegrate into the community through a range of supportive and therapeutic interventions. Clients benefit from 24-hour observation, supervision, and continual reassessment to ensure their needs are met promptly and effectively. The program provides solution-focused counseling, therapeutic and life-skills groups, and structured evening activities—including communal dinner groups with staff that foster connection and routine. Medication management is also provided as part of a comprehensive approach to care. Throughout their stay, individuals are guided toward re-engaging with community resources and natural support systems, promoting long-term recovery and stability.
