About The Position

Addiction Medicine Physician People in crisis need a physician who treats addiction as a medical condition, not a moral failure. You will lead evidence-based care that keeps patients alive, engaged, and moving toward recovery. Your decisions will set the treatment plan, align the care team, and close the gap between first visit and lasting stability.

Requirements

• M.D. or D.O. with an active, unrestricted license and board certification or eligibility in addiction medicine or a closely related specialty.
• DEA registration and hands-on experience initiating and managing medications for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder.
• A record of leading interdisciplinary treatment plans and documenting care that meets clinical and regulatory standards.
• Results improving retention, reducing acute-care use, or expanding access in an outpatient, hospital, or community setting.
• Clear, nonjudgmental communication with patients, families, and referring clinicians.

Responsibilities

• Stabilize and retain patients through timely assessment, medication for opioid and alcohol use disorders, and follow-up that reduces return-to-use and emergency visits.
• Build individual treatment plans that integrate behavioral health, primary care, and community supports, with progress reviewed on a set schedule.
• Lead multidisciplinary case reviews so nursing, counseling, and care coordination act on one plan and handoffs do not drop patients.
• Meet standards for controlled-substance prescribing, documentation, and outcome reporting without slowing access to care.
• Expand capacity by training colleagues in screening, brief intervention, and safe initiation of medications for addiction treatment.
• Improve engagement, retention, and completion by using outcome data to adjust protocols and remove barriers to care.
