About the Role

As a PMHNP, you'll lead member care, supported by a team of counselors and case managers. You’ll deliver evidence-based treatment for Stimulant Use Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder via telehealth.

  • Minimum 2 years of experience, preferably in addiction treatment.
  • Must have experience prescribing Suboxone and an active DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) registration.
  • Willingness to obtain multi-state licensure (cost covered by Affect).
  • Empathy for members facing personal and emotional challenges.
