The Peer Support Specialist supports the recovery needs of patients receiving Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment at White House Clinics. The Peer Support Specialist (PSS) is an individual in stable recovery who is able to use their personal, lived experience in recovery to guide and advocate for patients during the recovery process. The PSS serves as a connection between patients/individuals in the community struggling with substance use disorder and recovery supports available to them. The PSS will engage individuals in all points of recovery to teach and model the skills necessary to support long term recovery. As an individual in recovery, the PSS role requires flexibility and self-direction, as well as the ability to problem solve to assist patient in meeting their recovery goals.

PRINCIPLE DUTIES

Meet with patients during medical and/or behavioral health visits to assist the care team with engaging patients in SUD treatment services by:
- Applying motivational strategies and sharing of personal recovery journey to enhancing patient’s motivation to engage with appropriate treatment services;
- Connecting patients to referral services, when needed; and/or
- Scheduling patients for SUD services at WHC if appropriate.
Maintain telephone contact with patients waiting to receive SUD treatment services.
Work with patients to develop a Person-Centered Recovery Plan, and develop recovery goals to be successful.

Remind patients of upcoming appointments and help identify barriers that could prevent compliance. Work closely with all members of the care team to ensure patient compliance while promoting personal accountability of the patient. Follow up with patients who have missed an appointment.
Identify community recovery support meetings (i.e. AA/NA, Celebrate Recovery, etc) and share with MAT patients. Attend community meetings to model positive behaviors for patients. Provide transportation to meetings if needed. Encourage patients to remain active in some type of community recovery program if possible.
Utilize a Telephone Recovery Program to provide 24 hour support to patients, including weekly contacts to patients receiving services, regular updates to the care team on patient functioning and needs, and availability to respond to calls from patients during and after clinic hours.
Serve as a liaison between the treatment team and the patient. Document all contacts in the patient’s electronic health record and communicate regularly with other members of the patients care team.
Assist the care team in developing action plans specific to patients as needed. Meet twice a month with assigned supervisor for required supervision according to state regulations.
