The position reports to the TCOOMMI Program Director and requires the development and maintenance of effective, professional working relationships with the DDRF staff, BCBS staff and all outside community partners. This is a Monday through Friday, non-exempt, position with no nightshift or on-call requirements.

The TCOOMMI Residential Case Manager (RCM) meets with individuals who are receiving treatment at the DDRF to provide case management, skills training and psychosocial rehabilitative services in collaboration with the Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors (LCDC) at the facility. Services are intended to stabilize mental health and substance use symptoms, reduce risk of recidivism, increase the individual’s awareness of and participation with community and natural supports, develop self-advocacy, and assist with their ability to participate in independent behavioral health services. The person in this position will work in partnership with the Residential LCDC’s to develop a treatment plan that will address the identified mental health needs as well as any substance use challenges.

Knowledge of psychotherapeutic medications, case management functions, substance use treatment, crisis services, community resources, and evidence-based practices in the behavioral health field is critical for success in the position. Effective case management employs innovative thinking, patience, resiliency, skills in advocacy, service coordination, mental health assessment and evaluation, collaborative person-centered recovery planning, clinical documentation skills, and dual-diagnosis treatment. The case manager works independently and within a team, prioritizes needs during crisis situations, engages in regular meetings and training opportunities, and performs other duties as assigned with a positive attitude.
