Vinfen, in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health and the Massachusetts Mental Health Center (MMHC), a state operated mental health clinic, is seeking a part time (0.5FTE) dedicated Addiction Medicine Physician (MD/DO) to lead the development and delivery of integrated substance use disorder (SUD) services within our community mental health model. This role requires expertise in treating co-occurring substance use disorders and severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI), with a strong commitment to trauma-informed, person-centered, and recovery-oriented care. The physician will provide direct clinical care, guide program design, and ensure close collaboration across psychiatry, primary care, nursing, social work, and peer specialists.

• Program Development: Design and implement comprehensive, integrated SUD services for individuals with SPMI, including routine screening, assessment, and diagnosis of substance use across the patient population.
• Clinical Care: Deliver evidence-based treatments, including medications for opioid, alcohol, and tobacco use disorders, with careful consideration of psychiatric comorbidities and drug–drug interactions. Provide or oversee psychosocial interventions (e.g., motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, contingency management) alongside pharmacotherapy.
• Team-Based Collaboration: Champion a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to care, including coordination with assertive community treatment teams and other high-intensity service models for patients with complex needs.
• Recovery-Oriented Services: Develop individualized pathways for harm reduction, relapse prevention, and long-term recovery that reflect each patient’s goals and lived experience.
• Education & Training: Provide clinical leadership, consultation, and training for staff on evidence-based practices in co-occurring SUD and mental illness care, including stigma reduction and trauma-informed approaches.
• Quality Improvement: Implement and sustain a measurement-based care framework. Track SUD-specific process and outcome metrics, leverage registries to monitor treatment response, and continuously refine services to improve effectiveness and equity.
