About The Position

The Program Assistant assists the team in managing the essential non-clinical and clinical operations for the entire Integrated Dual Diagnosis Team (IDDT), including: communications, data entry, filing, scheduling, payee liaison and the basic coordination of day-to-day services while also engaging interactively with persons served when needed. The IDDT is a consumer-centered, recovery-oriented mental health / SUD service delivery model that has received substantial empirical support for facilitating community living, psychosocial rehabilitation, and recovery for persons with the most serious mental illnesses who have not benefited from traditional outpatient programs. IDDT serves adults with serious mental illnesses and co-occurring drug and alcohol use. IDDT services merge clinical, rehabilitative and support staff expertise within a multidisciplinary team that includes a psychiatrist, nurses, mental health professionals, and a variety of specialists (drug and alcohol dependency, employment, forensics and peer support). The team is mobile and delivers services in community locations to enable each consumer to find and live in their own residence and find and maintain work in community jobs rather than expecting the consumer to come to the program.
