Buffalo Valley Job Opportunities
Buffalo Valley is the Number 1 "People Helping People Business" in Tennessee.
Chemical dependence is a progressive disease (identifiable by a specific set of symptoms). The disease eventually consumes more than the person using alcohol or other drugs. Family, friends, and co-workers are affected.
Yet, chemical dependency is treatable. It is a disease, not an emotional or moral weakness that can be treated successfully with the right help.
Buffalo Valley treatment centers can help stop the pain and chaos by helping the individual stop abusing alcohol and other drugs. Individuals can regain the control over their lives that alcohol and other drugs have taken away.
The key to successful treatment is an expert team of people who care. Our comprehensive team is made up of professionals with expertise in treating chemical dependency. The common denominator among our staff is caring. Everyone involved in the process cares about the recovery of each and every individual.
If you would like to join our team in caring for individuals with chemical dependency, please submit your on-line application or fax your resume to (931) 796-0483 Attn: Operations Department. Full time and part time benefits available.
