Under the direction of the DOC Director of Behavioral Health, the SUD Clinical Manager has the primary responsibility for fully implementing and monitoring all SUD services including Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) throughout the DOC facilities known as the Central Detention Facility (CDF) and the Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF), jointly referred as the DC Jail. The SUD Clinical Manager will be responsible for delivering high quality, evidence-based services including curriculum-driven individual and group counseling and psychoeducation, the tracking and reporting of MAT services, and Naloxone education and distribution. Close collaboration with community-based clinics is required in order to assure continuity of care upon release from custody.

The SUD Clinical Manager will collaborate with Unity medical providers at DOC to expand, track and report SUD services. The SUD Clinical Manager will also be responsible for the hiring, training and supervising addiction counselors such as Certified Addictions Counselors (CAC), LPCs or other behavioral health professionals with addictions experience. The SUD Clinical Manager will also be responsible for the hiring, training and supervision of the SUD Program Coordinator, who will supervise the Peer Navigators and Administrative Coordinator.

In addition to direct care of program participants, the SUD Clinical Manager will be a resource for other staff members, including the Mental Health Coordinator, psychiatrists, mental health clinicians, physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners (family and psychiatric), nurses, discharge planners, correctional staff and the administration.
