Licensed Professional Counselor (GA,AR, IN, OH, WY, LA, MN, AZ)

<div class="content-intro"><p>Pelago is the leading specialty substance use care provider, built on the belief that effective treatment means matching care intensity to what each member actually needs rather than defaulting to the most expensive intervention. Our programs guide members through every stage of the substance use spectrum, from unhealthy habits to active use disorders, delivering personalized treatment for tobacco, alcohol, opioid, cannabis, and stimulant use based on individual health, habits, genetics, and goals.</p> <p>With Sona, our voice-first AI Mental Health Specialist, Pelago now applies that same clinically-driven model to mental health, pairing deep clinical expertise with technology to expand access without compromising care quality. We believe technology should make clinical care more precise and more human, not replace the judgment behind it.</p> <p>Pelago has scaled to helping hundreds of employers and health plans and has already helped more than 750,000 members better manage their substance use. If you're passionate about AI and making an impact on the health of others, join us and make it happen!</p></div><h2>About Pelago</h2> <p>Pelago is a nationwide specialty substance use care provider delivering proven, validated clinical and financial outcomes across the full spectrum of substance use — from risky use through crisis-level addiction.
