As an ACT Substance Abuse Specialist, you will provide and coordinate substance abuse interventions for our most vulnerable members. You will also serve as the substance abuse expert for an ACT team, helping the team identify and address co-occurring disorders and appropriate interventions.

You will work with the ACT clinical team to engage, educate, communicate, and coordinate care with each member, their family, other health care providers and involved parties to ensure that all services prescribed in each member’s individualized service plan are implemented. You must be passionate about pursuing best practice outcomes for members in all areas of their lives, including continuing education, employment, community tenure, and independent housing.
