$26.00 - $28.00 per hour (depending on experience) About Monarch Recovery Centers At Monarch Recovery Centers (MRC), our Outpatient Programs offer practical, comprehensive treatment that addresses the whole individual struggling with alcohol or substance use. We begin from a place of understanding and acceptance — without judgment — and work to identify the root causes of addiction, restore sobriety and confidence, and connect each person with the recovery tools, community support, and resources needed for long-term success. Monarch is LGBTQ+ open, affirming, and committed to diversity, because addiction knows no sex, race, sexuality, creed, or income. Our LGBTQ+ staff and allies offer connection, empathy, and support in a safe, inclusive environment, with a commitment to cultural competency and to treating the whole person. About Our Program We are a growing recovery program serving a diverse community of clients across our sober living homes and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Monarch accepts private insurance plans from major carriers, Medi-Cal, and private pay, and we are proudly contracted with the County of Sacramento's Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) program. Betweeen our dedicated sober homes managers and talented IOP staff ( peer support specialists, therapists, counsleors) everyone involved plays a role to bring all of these clients together in one integrated recovery community. All BHBH residents attend IOP at our Hurley Way office, with no-cost transportation provided.
