POSITION SUMMARY:
Clinical Stabilization Services (CSS) for Substance Use Disorders Level III.5 consist of 24- hour, clinically managed detoxification services that are provided in a non-medical setting. These services, which usually follow Acute Treatment Services (ATS) for Substance Use Disorders Level III.7, include supervision, observation, support, intensive education, and counseling regarding the nature of addiction and its consequences, relapse prevention, outreach to families and significant others, and aftercare planning for individuals beginning to engage in recovery. CSS provides multi-disciplinary treatment interventions and emphasizes individual, group, family, and other forms of therapy. Linkage to aftercare, relapse prevention services, and peer support and recovery-oriented services, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, are integrated into treatment and discharge planning.
Under supervision, the behavioral health counselor will provide specialized therapeutic groups to address gender specific treatment issues, poly-substance use, co-occurring disorders, trauma, medications, life skills, housing, and other relevant topics. The behavioral health counselor is a key member of a holistic care model through providing non-judgmental, person-centered support across multiple systems and frameworks of care. This position will maintain ongoing patient support regardless of relapse and will serve as a motivator, ally, role model, problem-solver and advocate for patients. The behavioral health counselor should possess a thorough understanding of optimizing safety for people who use drugs, better tailor health messages to vulnerable populations, and provide links to community resources and treatment options. This position requires good organizational skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
