About The Position
The Recovery Support Specialist serves as an advocate for consumers in an outpatient setting, providing essential information and peer support to individuals seeking mental health and substance abuse services. This role is crucial in helping clients regain control of their lives and navigate the recovery process effectively. The Recovery Support Specialist will work in the Northwest Center for Behavioral Health's 24/7 Outpatient Clinic, which aims to eliminate barriers to accessing services that clients typically encounter during standard business hours. By extending operational hours, the clinic ensures that clients have in-person access to the support they need at any time of the day or night. In this position, the Recovery Support Specialist will engage with clients to understand their unique challenges and provide tailored support. This includes facilitating access to resources, offering guidance on recovery strategies, and fostering a supportive environment that encourages personal growth and healing. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a high level of professionalism and ethical conduct while interacting with clients and stakeholders from the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS). The Recovery Support Specialist will also participate in ongoing training and development opportunities, including certification as a Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist. This certification not only enhances the specialist's skills but also increases their earning potential within the organization. The position requires flexibility in working hours, including evenings, nights, and weekends, to meet the needs of the community effectively.
