Do the most meaningful work of your career.
At Hygea Healthcare, you help people walk out of the hardest chapter of their lives and into recovery. We’re a Maryland-based addiction treatment team that takes the work — and the people who do it — seriously.
Why Hygea
Behavioral health is health. So are the people who provide it.
Hygea was founded by people with personal recovery experience, alongside licensed clinical professionals — so we understand this work from both sides of the door. We’re building a full continuum of addiction care across Maryland that serves anyone who needs it, regardless of their ability to pay.
That mission only works if the people delivering care are supported, respected, and given room to grow. We know the behavioral health field runs on passion — and we know passion burns out fast without real backing behind it.
We’re building the kind of place that keeps good clinicians and technicians in the field, not the kind that uses them up.
If you want your work to matter and you want to be treated like it matters, keep reading.
What makes Hygea different
Real career growth — with the support to get there
Behavioral health is a field you can build a career in, and we help you do it. Whether you’re an Alcohol & Drug Trainee working toward CAC-AD/LCADC, a nurse growing into a leadership role, or a BHT deciding this is your calling, we map the path with you.
Pay you can count on
We publish salary ranges on every job posting, and we review compensation on a set schedule — no vague promises, no moving goalposts.
Supported, not stretched thin
Good care requires sustainable workloads. We staff for safety, provide real clinical supervision, and back our teams when situations get hard.
A mission you can feel every shift
We serve every patient who needs us — commercial insurance, Maryland Medicaid, and same-day admissions. Our patients tell us, by name, how much our staff changed their lives. That feedback loop is real, and you’ll be part of it.
Modern tools, not busywork
Hygea invests in technology — including our Huml Health integrations — to make documentation and care coordination easier, so you can spend more time with patients and less time fighting your EMR.
