Housed at Ward 1 of George Pearson Centre, the ABI Transitional Housing Program is focused on transitioning individuals with acquired brain injuries from acute care back into the community. The ABI Transitional Housing Program includes a comprehensive interdisciplinary team, including nursing and a wide variety of allied health team members.

The majority of these patients have polysubstance use disorder (PSUD) and will need ongoing addictions medicine support. The ability to prescribe and titrate methadone, suboxone and other OAT is a must.

You will have access to physiatry and psychiatry consultation and support and will be paid 2 sessions a week for this work.

As the addictions resource for GPC, DL, and CG you would be asked to consult on and manage the pharmacotherapy for the addictions needs for the campus of care, at the request of and in collaboration with each patient’s MRP . It is anticipated that this would take no more than 1 session (3.5 hours) of work a week, with 4-5 patients being seen a week.
