Sunrise Treatment Center is an outpatient opiate addiction treatment facility. We are seeking someone who is detail-oriented, for a structured, lower-volume nursing role where you would prepare and dispense buprenorphine and methadone medication from our on-site dispensary.

Our ideal candidate would prioritize patient safety, accuracy, and consistency. This position offers a predictable pace, meaningful exposure to regulatory standards, making it ideal for nurses interested in compliance focused practice while being given the opportunity to focus on quality of care without the demands of high patient volumes.
