The specialist provides and coordinates substance abuse interventions for vulnerable members, serving as the substance abuse expert for the ACT team to address co-occurring disorders. Responsibilities include delivering direct services, developing progress plans, and coordinating care with the clinical team, family, and other providers to ensure individualized service plan implementation.
Candidates must meet specific education criteria, ranging from a high school diploma with three years of related experience up to a Master's degree in a behavioral health field.

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 provide individual and group substance use education and interventions, as well as teaching activities and services to help the members we serve build their skills and enhance their abilities to live independently and effectively in the community.
The ACT model is a service delivery model, not a case management program. You will provide direct services to members and develop plans to help them reach their goals, and review each member’s progress daily. 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.
