About the Role
Detox Nurses at Radix Recovery are key members of our multidisciplinary team, delivering direct patient care while supporting clients through one of the most vulnerable times in their recovery journey.

Conduct patient assessments, monitor withdrawal symptoms, and administer medications per provider orders.
Facilitate intakes, discharges, and referrals to appropriate care settings.
Utilize CIWA and COWS protocols to monitor and document detox progression.

Maintain a clean, safe, and positive working environment.
