You will work closely with our Subject Matter Experts, Customer Service , and Customer Success teams to bring clinical expertise and technical depth to every opportunity.

1. Substance Abuse Treatment Centers

Market Size: $143B | 17,561 facilities nationwide

What You Need to Know:

• Accreditation requirements drive assessment adoption— CARF, Joint Commission, and state licensure all require standardized screening for trauma history, co-occurring disorders, and risk assessment

• Eastern US concentration:FL, NY, PA, and NJ have high densities of treatment facilities
• Key PAR products:SASSI-4 (substance abuse screening), PAI/PAI Plus (personality, psychopathology), TSI-2 (trauma symptoms), DAPS (post-traumatic stress)

2. Inpatient Psychiatrics

Market Size: $195B | Hospital-based and freestanding psychiatric facilities

What You Need to Know:
