THE POSITION

Programs within Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, which primarily utilize Clinical Services Technicians (CSTs), include Stanislaus Recovery Center (SRC) and various other programs within Behavioral Health and Recovery Services.

Stanislaus Recovery Center (SRC) is a comprehensive Alcohol & Drug Treatment Center located in Ceres. CSTs are assigned to the SRC Adult Residential Treatment Program and/or Outpatient Programs.

The Adult Treatment Program at SRC has a treatment structure that promotes recovery at every phase of the recovery process.

The incumbent's schedule may include shift work, weekend assignments, and may include the applicable 5% inpatient and shift differential pay.

Peer Support (Stanislaus Recovery Center):

CSTs supervised under the Peer & Family Support Services Coordinator work within the Substance Use Disorder System providing peer support.

This position will typically work business hours of 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday and will occasionally work outside of those hours.

The role of a Peer Support Specialist is to provide principles of recovery in an attitudinal way with expertise that professional training cannot replicate.

Peer Support Services are specialized therapeutic interactions conducted by current or former consumers of behavioral health/substance use disorder services.

Peer Supports include engaging peers into recovery, assisting peers in articulating their goals for recovery, learning, and practicing new skills, helping them monitor their progress, supporting them in their treatment, modeling effective coping techniques and self-help strategies based on the specialist's own recovery experience, supporting them in advocating for themselves to obtain effective services, and developing and implementing personal recovery plans.

Peer Support Specialists offer role modeling and mentorship by offering their life as living proof of the transformative power of recovery and provides stage-appropriate recovery education.

Peer Support Specialists also provide companionship, a social bridge from the culture of addiction and mental illness to the culture of recovery.

The Clinical Services Technician II classification is considered the experienced, journey-level in the series. Incumbents perform under general supervision and with much greater independence, including independently leading groups and individual sessions.
