Co-Occurring Program Manager

Lorenz Clinic, Rosemount, Minnesota, United States, 55608


Job Type

Full-time

Description

Lorenz Clinic has chosen excellence in psychological services and training rather than growth at all costs like larger clinics. Our duty to the public is our North Star, leading us to select the most reflective, well-prepared, professional staff because that's what drives psychotherapeutic change and the best training. Lorenz Clinic has led on the basis of excellence since its inception, distinguished by its clinically-relevant core values .

The clinic's superordinate value is that of interprofessionalism, and it engages in Reflective Practice, which ensures our workplace is conducive to the work itself. For nearly fifteen years, Lorenz has leveraged an interdisciplinary team to expand access to integrated services on main street where they're needed most. To that end, the clinic is undertaking the first steps in developing a chemical dependency program, which will provide co-occurring care to clients on both an outpatient and intensive outpatient basis across the system's disparate clinics. Lorenz's current service offering includes outpatient psychotherapy, psychiatry, in-home therapy, psychological testing, intensive outpatient groups and day treatment. The need for community-based chemical dependency treatment has never been greater, especially a program embedded in an integrated system with access to the range of mental health services.

The Department

The founding vision for the co-occurring addiction service line is to treat problems, not just symptoms. The historical walls between addiction care and mental health services have only served to increase stigma, decrease treatment efficacy, and ultimately exacerbate the addiction crisis. If treatment teams can't hold the complexity of clients' lives, how do we expect them to?

"To treat problems, not just symptoms."

Working alongside psychiatry providers, family therapists, and psychologists with access to testing and higher levels of care, co-occurring specialists psychotherapists will treat clients who are being held by a clinic system and interprofessional treatment team.

This position is a unique opportunity to take an innovative program from zero to one. The founding manager will be charged with, among other things, developing, documenting, and proposing the program's operating model including policies and procedures, recruiting and retaining a specialty staff, garnering 245G facility licensure, and eventually expanding program reach across five clinics in a financially sustainable manner. It will be a difficult and arduous but noble path, culminating in nothing short of expanding access in a profound way that will have a deep impact in traditionally underserved communities. The most successful candidates will likely be experienced program leaders with an uncommon level of co-occurring competence- someone with experience operating within small, scrappy, entrepreneurial environments.
