LOCATION OF POSITION

MDH, Cecil County Health Department, Elkton, MD

Main Purpose of Job

This position is an advanced level of work in the Maryland Department of Health (MDH), providing peer recovery support services to clients with substance use, mental health, and/or co-occurring disorders to begin and maintain a path to recovery. This position is held by a person with lived experience in recovery from mental health and/or substance use conditions who is also trained to help others find the path to recovery that is most appropriate for them. This position will leverage personal recovery experience and training to inspire hope, manage stigma, and reduce the stress often associated with change. The support provided is critical to helping individuals access and navigate complex systems of care. This position will provide personalized, non-clinical support to help clients adopt positive health behaviors. This support utilizes various skills, including (but not limited to) motivational interviewing, education, recovery planning, advocacy, coaching, and care navigation. This position will also involve screening, raising awareness of personal relationships to substance use, and developing a plan based on facilitating connection to helpful resources. This position may accompany clients as they implement certain aspects of their recovery plan. This position will also play a critical role in overdose prevention by providing education and training on the use of Narcan (Naloxone) to clients, families, and community organizations. This position includes increasing awareness of overdose risks, recognizing the signs of overdose, and equipping individuals with the skills and confidence to respond effectively in emergency situations, and is integral to ensuring access to recovery in many settings. These settings include crisis intervention, risk management, recovery support, hospitals, schools, courts, detention centers, transitional housing, and behavioral health treatment, among others. The duration of the peer-client relationship can vary. It may be brief, focusing on resolving an acute crisis and successfully linking the client with the necessary care, or it may be sustained over time to help the client achieve stability in recovery.
