Yes, there are positions out there in working with youth services, to include juvenile detention centers and facilities; residential treatment; high schools, etc. Residential treatment centers are in different specialties…..some may focus on drug/alcohol abuse; some may be eating disorder treatment centers, etc. There are also positions with children’s hospitals, and psych hospitals.

All of your therapy level positions will require a MSW at minimum and a license in clinical social work for the most part. With a license in clinical social work, that also allows one to have a private practice or work in private practice as a therapist.
There are Bachelor level positions, but a BSW cannot do “therapy”.
