About us Working at National Addiction Specialists (NAS) Founded in
2019, NAS is a telehealth clinic offering long-term support and
treatment for substance use disorders. Collaborating across
medical, behavioral, and psychosocial dimensions, NAS's dedicated
Care Teams deliver evidence-based care and help participants work
toward their individual goals. Our mission - Based in science: NAS
care teams provide comprehensive, evidence-based treatment that is
tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. NAS teams
also help manage co-occurring conditions, including depression,
anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). - Grounded in
empathy: We provide unconditional support rooted in harm reduction
and trauma-informed care. Patients, addiction counselors, and
caregivers make important decisions together. NAS focuses on
long-term health, happiness, and wellness by addressing
non-clinical goals like safe housing, employment, parenting, and
financial security just as much as clinical outcomes. - Breaking
down barriers: We're reaching both urban and rural communities of
the country, where more than 80% of people have little to no access
to buprenorphine (Suboxone) prescribers. NAS provides low-threshold
care that is inclusive, empowering, and heavily influenced by
participants' stated preferences and goals. Wherever our patients
wish to go, we're grateful to go there together. About the role -
The Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) works directly with patients to
deliver medication-assisted recovery for Substance Use Disorder
(SUD) and empowers patients in their recovery journeys in
coordination with the Care Team (primarily Care Advocates and
Addiction Counselors). - This is a high-impact, patient-facing
role, which involves delivering compassionate and empathetic
telephonic, text-based, and video-based (telehealth) patient
engagement and monitoring, assisted by NAS clinical decision
support tools and platforms. - As NAS's model is built on
telemedicine, this role is unique in the autonomy and convenience
that it offers compared to other midlevel provider positions. You
will have the opportunity to work from your own home and maintain
flexible hours. - Make a difference. The devastating impact of the
opioid crisis, “war on drugs,” and care gaps for the underserved
are at the forefront now more than any time in US history. By
bringing care to more people, we are changing and saving lives. -
Build your career with talented peers. NAS brings together a
diverse team of expert clinicians and counselors aligned under a
common mission. NAS's clinical teams are some of the leading voices
in addiction medicine and industry transformation. - Grow with us.
According to White House estimates, the opioid crisis cost the US
$500 billion in 2015. A member with untreated opioid use disorder
(OUD) drives 550% greater healthcare costs to payers than the
average member (UHC analysis, 2019). NAS partners with leading
commercial and Medicaid health plans to bring better experiences
and effective services to their members, significantly reducing
costs and sharing in the economic savings we create. Success in

oversee treatment plans, adjusting them as needed. - Provide
patient care coverage during some nonstandard hours, including

patient experience. - Interpret and share lab results with
patients, without judgement, in order to help them meet their goals
and stay safe. - Enable care coordination, connecting patients to
clinical resources outside NAS through referrals where necessary,
working with Counselors and Care advocates to help patients access
social resources and navigate the healthcare system. Requirements
for the role - PMHNP certification. - Licensed to practice in state
of Tennessee. - Licensed to practice in FL, NC, TX, and VA are a
plus, but not a requirement. - Active non-restricted DEA license. -

recovery. - Degree from an accredited school of nursing and a
graduate-level nurse practitioner program. - Proficiency in
electronic medical records and video conferencing. - Must the

and collaboration. - Able to learn new technologies quickly. If you
are a qualified person with a passion for what we do, please apply!
