GENERAL JOB SUMMARY

The Social Worker is an integral part of the Bridge Clinic, a transitional outpatient clinic for addiction care at MGH. This position is a critical member of a collaborative care team that includes a resource specialist, recovery coach, physicians, nurse practitioners, psychologists, nurses, and patient service coordinators. This position will both provide direct clinical care and associated team-based care coordination. The primary clinical responsibilities will be to provide psychosocial assessment, treatment planning, brief treatment and team consultation, for Bridge Clinic patients, particularly those with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. This role will also have the responsibility to assist with care coordination for patients with severe dual diagnosis conditions. Specifically, this role will provide brief SUD counseling with expertise in assessment, motivational intervention, CBT, and psychoeducation. In addition, this role will collaborate with all team members to develop and support transition plans for these patients within all levels of the addiction treatment care and mental health continuum.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Intake Coordination:
  • Assess patients who are referred to Bridge Clinic from inpatient, ED, and community settings with complex mental health and addiction needs to aid with evaluation, treatment planning, and linkage to most appropriate care placement.
  • Assist in providing brief assessment for urgent or unscheduled walk-in patients to ascertain specific mental health care needs, in collaboration with nurses or provider, and assist with developing effective care plans as needed.
Clinical Care:
  • Provide crisis intervention as needed for patients who present for care.
  • Provide trauma informed, short-term, outpatient individual and/or group counseling, utilizing psychoeducation, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to assist patients with treatment readiness, recovery stabilization and wellness goals.
  • Provide clinical support to complex patients on transition planning as they may need clinically informed transfer of care with focus on motivational interviewing and trauma-based perspective.
Care Coordination:
  • Work with the Bridge Clinic leadership team to develop best practices for patient referrals to behavioral health services in the clinic.
  • Collaborate with team members to cultivate relationships with external behavioral health services to successfully transition patients in need of ongoing care when appropriate.
  • In collaboration with Resource Specialist, act as initial point person to communicate with outside treaters (e.g hospitals, CSS) about care coordination for active Bridge patients with dual diagnosis either verbally or electronically, as well as those transitioning to community programs.
  • Ensure that all new patients to Bridge Clinic are introduced to the model of the clinic and begin working on a transition plan when medically appropriate.
  • Work collaboratively with patients and Bridge Clinic staff to assist with patients' transition to long term community-based addiction treatment as appropriate. Ensure integration of care and effective utilization of resources through review of documentation, discussion with providers, and collaboration with patients.
  • Support patients' transfer to all levels of care and interactions with other systems (DCF, probation, incarceration etc.) through the provision of clinical information and documentation to other facilities and systems. This may include drafting letter of engagement and preparing information to fax, copying portions of the medical record, obtaining releases of information, and engaging in collateral contact.
  • Collaborate with team leadership as appropriate to optimize co-occurring mental health and SUD care, including connection to further supports as clinically indicated.
  • Complete follow up outreach to patients or treatment organizations as needed to ensure a successful transition to the treatment organization in the disposition plan.
