Why Join AppleGate Recovery?  

At AppleGate Recovery (a proud division of BayMark Health Services), we don't just treat addiction—we restore lives. We are a progressive, multi-site leader in outpatient opioid use disorder treatment, known for combining evidence-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with compassionate counseling.

If you are looking for a highly rewarding part-time role where you can truly practice patient-centered care, achieve great work-life balance, and make a measurable impact on the Lake Charles community, we want to hear from you.

As our sole Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at the Lake Charles site, you will play a critical role in providing continuity of care. You will have the clinical autonomy to manage patient recovery pathways while collaborating with a dedicated, multidisciplinary clinic team.

Key Responsibilities:  

  • Patient-Centered Care: Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, history of present illness (HPI) assessments, and design personalized treatment plans for individuals navigating recovery.
  • Progressive Monitoring: Document and track patient milestones, adjusting care plans seamlessly in collaboration with the Clinical Coordinator and Treatment Center Director.
  • Empowerment & Education: Counsel patients on their treatment journey, helping them understand their progress, and provide essential health education regarding medication management.
  • Advocacy: Act as a compassionate guide, addressing the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of substance use disorders to help patients achieve long-term recovery and an improved quality of life.

What We Are Looking For

  • Licensure: Active Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) / Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) license in good standing with the state of Louisiana.
  • Experience: A minimum of 6 months of dedicated experience in addiction medicine or a strong foundational knowledge of drug rehabilitation and the disease of addiction.
  • Clinical Insight: Strong understanding of various substances of abuse, including the clinical signs and symptoms of detoxification.
  • Background: Ability to successfully pass a standard drug screen and criminal background check.
