Deliver individual counseling and group therapy sessions, integrating MAT education and support, and tailoring interventions to enhance recovery outcomes for clients with opioid use disorders.
Collaborate closely with medical staff to coordinate MAT, ensuring seamless integration of medication management with counseling and behavioral therapies in accordance with ASAM standards.
Develop, monitor, and adjust treatment plans in partnership with clients, focusing on achieving and maintaining recovery goals, with an emphasis on the effective use of MAT within a comprehensive treatment approach.
Provide education to clients and their families about opioid use disorder and MAT, dispelling myths and reducing stigma associated with medication-assisted recovery.
Maintain detailed and timely documentation of treatment services, MAT progress, and client responses, adhering to ASAM and regulatory documentation standards.
Stay abreast of advancements in MAT, including new medications, dosing strategies, and evidence-based practices for treating opioid use disorders, to continually enhance care delivery.
Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings, contributing to the cohesive delivery of integrated care plans for clients in the OTP.


Required Qualifications

Licensed as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) in the state of Minnesota, with specialized training or certification in MAT where available.
A minimum of two years of experience in substance use disorder counseling, with a significant focus on opioid use disorders and MAT.
Demonstrated proficiency in applying ASAM criteria in the assessment and treatment planning of clients with opioid use disorders, particularly in the context of MAT.
Familiarity with the pharmacological aspects of MAT, including medication options, mechanisms of action, and potential side effects.


Preferred Skills

In-depth understanding of the complexities associated with opioid addiction and the role of MAT in recovery.
Exceptional communication skills, capable of providing clear explanations of MAT options and supporting clients through their treatment choices.
Strong interdisciplinary collaboration skills, working effectively with medical professionals to optimize treatment outcomes.
Commitment to evidence-based practices and continuous professional development in the field of opioid use disorder treatment and MAT.
