Telehealth can be used as appropriate; however, this is a case-by-case basis and used as appropriate. Staff may be asked to travel to multiple locations in a day.



Some of your critical responsibilities:

  • Engage with persons served following admission to help individual's access treatment services within VOAMASS and externally with community-based providers.
