This is a unique opportunity for a skilled professional to make meaningful contributions to the mental health of our clients within the detox center environment, focusing on providing high-quality care to individuals struggling with substance use and behavioral health challenges.

Magellan Healthcare, a leader in behavioral health management, is committed to enhancing the well-being of individuals through accessible and effective mental health services. Our mission is to ensure that the communities we serve have access to comprehensive and affordable healthcare solutions. We pride ourselves on being a center of support in the lives of our patients, fostering an environment conducive to recovery and healing.

This role offers the flexibility of a remote workspace, allowing you to engage with patients effectively while maintaining a work-life balance. As part of a detox center, you will be interacting with individuals in various stages of recovery, providing both emotional support and therapeutic interventions. Your remote location will not hinder collaboration with other healthcare professionals, as we utilize advanced communication tools to ensure a cohesive treatment experience.

• Utilize your education and experience to perform independent psychosocial assessments, diagnosing conditions that align with the needs of your patients.
• Collaborate closely with clients to devise personalized treatment plans that respect their unique challenges and goals, ensuring a patient-centered approach to care.
• Implement evidence-based behavioral interventions, such as solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing, to promote positive change in each patient’s life.
• Maintain effective communication with other healthcare providers, including psychologists and primary care providers, to ensure a holistic, integrated treatment approach.
• Regularly monitor patient progress through systematic tracking of treatment responses, adjusting methods as necessary based on feedback and observed results.
• Support patients in managing prescribed psychotropic medications, focusing on adherence, potential side effects, and treatment effectiveness.

In this role, you will engage with a diverse population of clients at the detox center, many of whom face complex mental health issues intertwined with substance use disorders. Your work will involve understanding and addressing the unique needs of individuals from various backgrounds, ensuring that each patient is treated with respect, dignity, and comprehensive care strategies tailored to their circumstances.

• A Master’s degree in Social Work from a program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) is required.
• A valid and unrestricted license as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New York is mandatory to practice independently.
• Minimum of one year of experience as an independently licensed therapist, demonstrating a proven track record in providing effective mental health care.

While a minimum of one year of experience is required, candidates with experience in substance use treatment or detox environments will be highly regarded. Proficiency in working with diverse populations, along with familiarity with telehealth practices, will enhance your ability to thrive in this role.

The salary for this position ranges from $80,000 to $100,000 annually, reflecting your experience and expertise in the field. In addition to competitive compensation, we offer an annual incentive bonus aimed at rewarding exceptional performance, comprehensive benefits including health and wellness plans, a 401(K) retirement plan with employer matching, and partial reimbursement for license renewal fees. Continuing education opportunities and malpractice insurance coverage are also provided, further supporting your professional development.

At Magellan Healthcare, we are committed to nurturing our employees' professional growth. As part of a well-established organization, you will have access to ongoing training and mentorship, ensuring your skills remain sharp and relevant. There are clear pathways for advancement within our organization, allowing you to take on greater responsibilities and leadership roles as you progress in your career.
