Job Summary

  • Prepare for and lead site visits, accreditation surveys, and payer audits.
  • Integration with Recovery Services

  • Work closely with the organizations peer recovery support team, including housing and employment services, to create a seamless continuum of care from peer-led support to clinical treatment and back to community-based recovery.
  • Support transition planning for clients stepping down from PHP / IOP / OP into peer support and long-term recovery sustainment services.
