Co-Occurring Enhanced (CCE) & Behavioral Health Justice Involved Grant Clinician #8743

This is a grant-funded position with an end date of 9/30/2023. 

There is a high likelihood that candidates will be able to continue working at Riverside Community Care after that date.

The Co-Occurring Enhanced (CCE) Clinician is a part of a specialized track within the Outpatient Center, which focuses on the assessment and treatment of persons struggling with both substance use (moderate to high acuity) and co-occurring mental health disorders.

This track will include prescriber(s) trained to provide Medication Assisted Treatment for substance use, recovery coach peer supports, other CCE clinicians, and a supervisor/manager. The CCE clinician has operational knowledge of trauma and trauma-informed care that provides a lens of treatment provision and seeks to prevent re-traumatization of persons served.

The CCE clinician ascribes to the philosophy of care that there are multiple pathways of recovery, including harm-reduction approaches, and that treatment should be guided by the person served and their stage of change. The CCE clinician will receive advanced training in co-occurring disorders and will need to remain actively engaged and abreast of changes and initiatives related to best practices.

The CCE clinician is highly collaborative, and coordinates care within the Riverside team and with any external professional and personal supports to wrap around the person served.

A sub-specialty of the CCE specialty position will be the lead clinician for the new Behavioral Health Justice Involved grant initiative, recently awarded to the BHS Division.
