Opioid-Focused Clinic Coordination VISTA

Capital Recovery Center is a peer-run community-based mental health agency that has provided counseling, outreach, and related services since 1989. Our mission is to be a peer-supported sanctuary that fosters recovery, healing, growth and community engagement. Our established services include one-on-one peer counseling, support groups, homeless outreach, case management, and one-on-one peer recovery support. With opioid use disorder becoming more prevalent, we recognize the need for treatment options that are accessible, evidence-based, and patient-centered. Our low-barrier Olympia Bupe Clinic will provide services — medication, peer counseling, education, harm reduction supplies, and referrals — targeted to those who struggle with opioid use in addition to poverty, homelessness, chronic medical and mental health conditions, social isolation, and other challenges. Our goal is to create a supportive environment in which patients are empowered to define and pursue recovery at their own pace. We strive to reduce or eliminate common barriers to recovery, including stigma, abstinence requirements, lengthy wait times, and outdated approaches to addiction recovery. We embrace evidence-based and promising practices that are shown to improve the health of the people we serve.

Member Duties : While opioid addiction affects people of all socio-economic backgrounds, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “people living in poverty are especially at risk for addiction and its consequences like overdose or spread of HIV.” The Opioid-Focused Clinic Coordination VISTA will fight poverty and its link to opioid addiction in our community by working closely with the leadership team to help design coordination systems for the new Olympia Bupe Clinic. The VISTA will be a key player in building the capacity of the clinic by ensuring that necessary infrastructure and systems are in place to provide services to our patients upon opening and into the future. Tasks will include researching similar projects in other communities, creating a scheduling system for volunteers and providers, identifying and implementing appropriate data collection tools, compiling policies and procedures, helping to design and adapt clinic flow, and participating in evaluation of service provision.
