Behavioral Health Advisor

About Altior Healthcare

Our family of services comprises three distinct mental health treatment programs, including a specialized program for US Veterans. With over 15 unique locations, we manage and support 500+ dedicated employees serving over 300 residential clients daily located across five states: California, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, and Texas.

Paradigm Treatment (West Coast) and Ridge RTC (East Coast) partner together under Altior, united by a shared commitment to providing exceptional mental health care. For over a decade, our core clinical and support teams have worked side-by-side, delivering compassionate, evidence-based treatment that changes lives.

As part of the Altior network, you’ll find the stability of an established organization with the heart of a close-knit treatment community where every role matters.

The Behavioral Healthcare Advisor will serve as a primary resource for clinicians, hospitals, treatment providers, interventionists, educational consultants, families, and other referral partners across the region. From the initial inquiry through admission and ongoing continuity of care, this individual will work closely with referral sources and Altior’s admissions and clinical teams to ensure each case is handled with responsiveness, professionalism, and sound clinical judgment.

In addition to supporting treatment placement, this role will develop regional referral relationships, represent Altior Healthcare at professional events, provide consultation on complex cases, and help identify opportunities to strengthen the referral and admission experience. The ideal candidate brings an established understanding of the behavioral healthcare landscape, a strong professional presence, and the ability to build meaningful, long-term partnerships throughout an assigned territory.

This is not a commission-based or quota-driven sales position. Success in this role is measured through clinical integrity, responsiveness, relationship development, continuity of care, and the quality of the referral experience.

Candidates must currently reside within the Pacific Northwest and be comfortable traveling regularly throughout the assigned territory. Travel will include referral-partner meetings, facility tours, conferences, networking events, and other professional engagements. Occasional overnight travel may be required.
