Passages to Recovery, Inc. (Passages), a non-profit organization in Pittsburgh PA, provides recovery-based services that focus on substance use while addressing contributing factors of trauma, mental health, and family systems.

You'll share your personal recovery experience as appropriate, and provide a variety of forms of assistance which may include harm reduction, diverse recovery pathways, and sustainable long-term recovery. In peer-to-peer supports, the relationship is the intervention.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including health, dental, life insurance, paid time off, retirement plan, and opportunities for advancement. This is a full-time field position based in our Swissvale offices, which have free parking and easy access to the Parkway (Interstate 376).
