The UCSF SBIRT Collaborative Care Program develops, sequentially implements, and evaluates a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to screening, brief interventions, brief treatments, and referrals to specialty care for alcohol, opioid, and other drug use in both adult and adolescent primary care. The SBIRT-CCP Clinical Social Worker is part of a stepped-care program focused on integrating screening and management of at risk substance use and substance use disorders (SUD) within the primary care setting. The program draws from the University of Washington Collaborative Care Model, in which the Licensed Clinical Social Worker is embedded into primary care and trained to provide validated, symptom based screening of common behavioral health conditions (e.g.: AUDIT, DAST, TAPS1/2), evidence-based care coordination, brief behavioral interventions, and to support, through monitoring and coaching, psychopharmacological treatments initiated by the PCP, psychiatrist, and/or addiction medicine physician. The LCSW is integral in linking patients to behavioral health resources on behalf of primary care and therefore impacts all levels of the business and clinical care operations. The LCSW provides social work assessment, crisis intervention, therapeutic interventions, consultation and education.
As part of a multidisciplinary treatment team, under general supervision, the Clinical Social Worker's duties include but are not limited to providing transitional and comprehensive mental health services -- including case management, group and individual therapy, and crisis intervention -- to a caseload of adults with SUD and other common behavioral health conditions (e.g. anxiety) being seen at UCSF Health adult primary care. Treatment modalities may vary but will emphasize brief cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and the community reinforcement approach (CRA) with a strengths-based focus. Interventions may include motivational interviewing and harm reduction. Incumbent will complete psychosocial/functional assessments, mental status examinations, and comprehensive treatment development leveraging a treat-to-target Collaborative Care model. The Clinical Social Worker coordinates treatment among various agencies and advocates for patients to link with needed resources. Attends weekly staff and treatment planning meetings held with Primary Care Services and/or the Office of Population Health.
Demonstrates the ability to work with any patient regardless of race, gender, religious affiliation, cultural believes, lifestyle, disease process or treatment plan within an interdisciplinary team that may include a psychiatrist, attending physician, resident physician, psychologist, clinical nurse specialist and/or nurse practitioner, health navigator and other members of the outpatient practice staff.
