HealthRIGHT360’s Withdrawal Management Unit (WM) is co-located within 815 Buena Vista Avenue West (815) and provides 52 beds to adult men and women for social model WM support, often in the setting of co-occurring behavioral health and Substance Use Disorders (SUD). The WM LVN provides clients with Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) and supportive care as part of an interdisciplinary team that includes, but is not limited to, SUD counselors and behavioral health professionals. The average length of WM treatment is 7 days but may be extended based on acuity, after which clients that meet medical necessity are eligible to transition into the residential treatment phase of our continuum of care.

Job Summary

The WM LVN utilizes the Nursing Process and Harm Reduction and Trauma Responsive Care modalities in all actions taken to advocate for and support the client in their planning and goals. They specifically focus on co-managing (with clients) any self-administered inductions and/or titration of MAT (prescription medications) and the WM LVN monitors concurrent vital signs and symptoms with CIWA/COWS scoring. They triage acuity, report changes in condition to the Registered Nurse and/or Medical Director, and/or activate emergency interventions, as needed. The WM LVN acts as a shift lead and resource for unlicensed Health & Wellness staff and ensures adherence to evidence-based treatment plans. Where clients need extended WM support they work with the WM Medical Case Manager to initiate authorization. They screen those clients who plan to enter residential treatment for Tb and perform skin testing as needed, and other duties as assigned.
