Overview

CleanSlate is a national addiction medicine practice that uses medication to treat patients with Alcohol and Opioid Use Disorder. We also treat associated polysubstance use disorder, depression/anxiety, and Hepatitis C. We utilize addiction medicine best practices in the care of our patients, including the ASAM 6 Dimensions of Care and national practice standards.

CleanSlate has treated over 118,000 patients in over 70 centers across the country, working closely with our partners to save and change lives in a convenient outpatient environment. We fight to save lives and help patients achieve the lives they want and deserve.

We are seeking compassionate, experienced individuals to join our team in our fight against addiction! The Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS) provides non-clinical, peer-based recovery support services to CleanSlate patients. The primary function of the CRS is to establish a relationship and build rapport with patients in order to walk alongside them in their recovery journey toward the life they desire. CRS' draw from their own lived experience of a substance use disorder and recovery to uniquely connect with patients and provide emotional, informational and instrumental support. CRS' help individuals gain access to available resources in the community that can aid in their recovery by bridging gaps between patient needs and community resources. CRS' in turn spend a good deal of their time in the community with patients, providing support and companionship to patients recovering in the context of community and connecting to relevant resources. They also conduct assertive outreach to engage new individuals into care while working collaboratively with the CleanSlate treatment team and community partners to ensure cohesive patient care.
