2. Research : We seek to engage in innovative research aimed at evaluating the implementation and outcomes of the treatment provided.

3. Education : Our goal is to provide students and trainees across disciplines of behavioral sciences and psychiatry to improve the knowledge base and quality of care provided to individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Additionally, to educate more broadly and reduce the stigma associated with mental health and addiction.

4. Community : Through our community outreach efforts, we offer didactics on co-occurring disorders screening, assessment, prevention, psychoeducation, and treatment to community providers and families.

Position Summary:

Clinical responsibilities will include conducting comprehensive initial assessments, treatment planning, and therapy (individual, family, and group) for adults (18+) with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.

For our Co-Occurring Stepped Care PHP/IOP clinicians will utilize the Association of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria to determine appropriate level of care based on dimensional ratings of need .
