OVERVIEW
Same Day Access (SDA) allows a person in need of services the ability to call or walk in for an initial assessment – often on the same day. SDA eliminates the need for that individual to be placed on a waiting list, thereby connecting them with services in a timelier manner. This process includes admissions paperwork, brief evaluation, health screening, crisis planning, and if recommended and appropriate, a Comprehensive Needs Assessment. This position will primarily work in SDA providing clinical assessment, diagnosis, and making clinical treatment recommendations for consumers who present to Same Day Access. This position will be required to work with the SDA assessment team, case managers, peer recovery specialists, other OP clinicians, and all other agency staff in order to provide collaboration and coordination of care. Same Day Access can be fast-paced and requires organization and flexibility.
