Job Summary
Zuckerberg San Francisco General (ZSFG) Hospital’s Opiate Treatment Outpatient Program (OTOP) is an opioid treatment program (OTP) providing comprehensive treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) in San Francisco since 1973. OTOP serves adults of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions or spiritualties living in San Francisco with OUD who are low-income and uninsured or underinsured. Many of OTOPs clients have co-occurring disorders and significant physical health problems, including HIV. Additionally, they face significant cultural barriers to receiving quality, respectful care. OTOP provides methadone maintenance dosing and evidence-based counseling to opiate dependent clients at multiple locations including ZSFG campus, Bayview Van site, and San Francisco County Jail (SFCJ). Additional wrap around services offered include psychiatry, case management, alcohol use treatment, Hep C treatment, and Contingency Management for stimulant use.
Substance Use Counselors (Social Work Associates) provide a range of counseling and social work services to OTOP clients with multiple layers of instability and vulnerability including housing, financial, legal, medical care coordination, transportation, food and clothing. Services are provided to all OTOP clients with priority given to HIV+ clients, pregnant clients, incarcerated clients, and clients with severe and persistent mental health issues. Counselors are an essential part of OTOP’s multi-disciplinary team which includes licensed clinicians, registered/certified SUD counselors, nurses, nurse practitioners, doctors, and administrative staff. The incumbent provides culturally appropriate, evidence-based counseling and social work services, including mental health screenings, assessments, ongoing counseling sessions, brief interventions, and consultations with internal and external multi-disciplinary teams. Counselors are responsible for managing a caseload, which involves completing intakes, annual justifications for treatment, discharges, and documentation in a timely manner consistent with internal, local, state, and federal requirements. All counselors receive regular supervision from a counseling supervisor (CA BBS approved supervision for ASW, APCC and AMFT available as needed).
The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy.
