The Recovery Support Navigator (RSN) provides care management and system navigation supports to patients with a diagnosis of substance use disorder and/or co-occurring mental health disorders. The RSN engages patients as they present in the treatment system and supports them in accessing treatment services and community resources.  RSNs support patients in remaining engaged in treatment; identifying and accessing treatment and recovery resources in the community, including prescribers for addiction and psychiatric medications;

and/or developing and implementing personal goals and objectives around treatment and recovery from addiction and/or co-occurring disorders.  The RSN explores treatment recovery options with the patient, helps clarify goals and strategies, provides education, and resources, and assists patients in accessing treatment and community supports. RSN is not responsible for a patient’s comprehensive care plan, or medical or clinical service delivery, but supports the patient in accessing those services and participates as part of the overall care team when appropriate.
