Alcohol and Drug Case Manager (California) - Recover : Job Details

About the company

Recover is a tech startup working to make mental health and addiction treatment more effective, accessible, and affordable. We work with governments to use telehealth and medicine to improve outcomes for people who need treatment. We are working to make sure low-income Americans have access to best-in-class treatment.

Our program is a fully telemedicine-based digital treatment program for people with mental health and substance use challenges. We use a harm reduction approach to treatment, and are focused on serving marginalized and underserved communities. Our services are all telemedicine-enabled, so applicants can be located anywhere in California (and the work can be done from your couch!). We are a small team growing quickly, and looking for people to grow with us.

Our team includes people from Yale Law, UCLA School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and White House alums.

The opportunity

As a case manager, you'll work directly with clients to help them access services and resources as they progress through substance use disorder treatment. Most of your time will be spent meeting with clients to identify their individual recovery needs and then connecting them to appropriate services and resources, and helping them navigate those resources. You will be expected to develop a relationship with your clients and help guide them through their recovery journey, particularly when it comes to encouraging them to follow through on the resources / opportunities you have linked them to. You will also collaborate regularly with the rest of the treatment team consisting of the medical director, nurse practitioners, and counselors to provide comprehensive treatment plans for clients. You will also be responsible for various administrative tasks from time to time.

This position is best suited for someone who is comfortable working independently, will take ownership of client care and build rapport, and who works well in a collaborative team environment. You'll have the opportunity to grow with us, and work with patients from across the state.

This role is full time and fully remote. You will report to the Program Manager for the program you are part of. Salary commensurate with experience, and the position includes benefits. Role is 40 hours / week across 4-5 days and is fully remote.

Need to have:

• Certified Alcohol Drug Counselor - I or higher
• 1+ years of experience in addiction treatment

Nice to have:

• Comfortable working with juveniles
• Experience with telehealth
• Fluent in Spanish

Culture:

• Do no harm: We are dedicated to helping all patients, without exception or compromise. If we do not think we can help, we will do our best to find someone who can.
• Remember the mission: Patients come first – always.
• Work together: Addiction affects people in every aspect of their life. We need to serve them accordingly.
• Everyone matters: We believe that best-in-class treatment should be available to everyone regardless of geography, history, or income and are working to make that belief a reality.
• Follow the data: Recover is an evidence–based program. We are constantly tracking and incorporating the latest research and using data to improve our programs. Addiction is a medical problem not a moral one, and we treat it as such.
• Prioritize progress: We meet our patients where they are. Everyone's recovery is different, and we are here to help, regardless of where they are on that journey.
