Facility & Pharmacy
Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Center (DDPC) is an accredited 100-bed psychiatric hospital that serves adult inpatients and outpatients with severe mental illness from the northern 2/3 of the state. It is part of a comprehensive mental health system of services, and one of two psychiatric hospitals operated by the Maine State Department of Health and Human Services. The pharmacy uses Pyxis and ePharmPro for remote order entry. Because management of the pharmacy is outsourced to CPS, the Director of Pharmacy and pharmacists are employees of CPS. Pharmacy technicians, on the other hand, are employed by the state.

Rewards
CPS full-time employees enjoy a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, including Medical/Dental/Vision Insurance / 401(k) with a Match / Paid Holidays / Paid Time Off (PTO) Program / Company Paid Short- and Long-Term Disability / Basic and Supplemental Life Insurance / Medical Flex and Dependent Care Accounts / Relocation / and More.

A Supportive Environment
As a CPS-employed director, you will have a full support team available to you—from a Regional VP, Regional Clinical Director, and 340B Specialist to a Regulatory Specialist, Drug Information Specialist, and more.
