Opportunity Guide  - www.mhsdla.org

Mission
Metropolitan Human Services District will provide and coordinate, directly and through community collaboration, a range of services to address mental health, addictive disorders, and developmental disability needs among the citizens of Orleans, St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes.

Authorized by the Louisiana Legislature in 2003, Metropolitan Human Services District (MHSD) is the local governmental entity responsible for the delivery of publicly funded community-based addictive disorders, developmental disabilities and mental health services for residents of Orleans, St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes.  MHSD operates to identify, strengthen and link relevant resources that will foster community collaboration resulting in a dynamic and comprehensive system of service delivery for citizens of Orleans, St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes.  

The organization develops meaningful, innovative research-based activities and programs directed towards the self-actualization of individuals and families throughout the community; and delivers a seamless, integrated, and comprehensive system of services that is responsive to community and consumer strengths, needs, interests, and choices.  Overall, MHSD has a goal of ensuring quick and easy access for consumers, family members and the community to an efficient system of care which addresses their addictive disorder, developmental disability and/or mental health needs.

Goals

•    Cultural and ethnic diversity is valued, respected and utilized.
•    Critical to success is the staff and their collaborative efforts to strengthen consumer care options.
•    Continuous improvement is MHSD’s commitment.

MHSD is currently 97% funded by the State of Louisiana, either directly by state general funds or through Federal block grants to the State, and 3% funded by clinical billing, with the majority of funding and services targeted toward economically disadvantaged populations.  MHSD operates on the same operating year as the State (June 30) with an annual budget for Fiscal Year 2013 (ending June 30, 2013) of $33,215,571.  The projected budget for FY14 is $29,890,303 or approximately 10% lower than the previous year.

MHSD’s Board must have nine members, seven that are residents of Orleans and one resident each from St. Bernard and Plaquemines.  Each Board member is eligible to serve two consecutive three-year-terms.  Members are appointed and approved by the governing authority of the parish they represent.  Five of the board members must be professionals in the fields of mental health, developmental disabilities or addictive disorders.  Two must be advocates with a history of involvement and active in one or more of the three parishes of services.  Two must be consumers who receive or have received services from MHSD in one of the three parishes.  The Orleans board members must include at least three professionals, one consumer and one advocate.  

The Opportunity: Executive Director

MHSD fulfills its statutory role as the planning body for behavioral health (mental health and addictive disorders) and developmental disability services for residents of Orleans, Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes by ensuring that eligible residents in these parishes have access to person-centered and recovery focused supports designed to optimize their success in the community.  Since his appointment in 2008, Executive Director Judge Calvin Johnson (retiring in 2013) has created a senior leadership team that has established fiscal stability at the agency, strengthened community-based services, and created the district’s first crisis care continuum.  Under Judge Johnson’s leadership, MHSD also has established a single point of entry to mental health, addictive disorder and developmental disabilities services for adults and children.

The next Executive Director will be an experienced, creative, and proven senior leader ready to take the helm of transitioning MHSD to a high-performing agency.  MHSD is a person-centered, continuum of care agency providing research-based/outcome-focused programs and services to the Greater New Orleans area.  The next Executive Director will be responsible for agency-wide strategic planning; maintaining community and partner relationships; staff management; and able to offer subject area knowledge and expertise in addictive disorders, developmental disabilities and mental health services.

Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies (CAAS) Director/Associate Professor - Anchorage, Alaska
University of Alaska Anchorage

The Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies (CAAS) is one of the oldest research centers in the University of Alaska (UA) system, and was created by the UA Board of Regents to conduct research to understand and mitigate the effects of addiction to alcohol and other substances across the state. The CAAS is located within the newly-created College of Health (COH) at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA). This is a rare opportunity to lead the development and implementation of interdisciplinary and collaborative study with a diverse faculty across a new College from an established research center.

The focus of the position will be on health issues of particular relevance for Alaskan residents. The Director will lead CAAS in development and expansion of its research agenda and staff, and will provide administrative oversight of its activities and programs. Prospective research foci will include the determinants of substance abuse behaviors including alcohol, tobacco and other harmful substances, protective factors associated with resilience in the face of such effects and practical interventions to mitigate or treat such behaviors. This position will work with interdisciplinary teams of UA faculty to conduct research contributing to the knowledge base regarding the role of social and physical determinants of population health in Alaska and the circumpolar north. The successful candidate will lead the CAAS-ICHS Addiction Studies, actively collaborate with state, national and international organizations in cooperative discussions, and conduct research and activities designed to improve health conditions in the circumpolar north. While the successful applicant will supervise research staff and students, teaching is not a required component of the CAAS Director’s workload.

The successful applicant for this position will have a terminal degree (MD, PhD or DrPH), in alcohol and addiction studies or a related field. They must also present evidence that clearly demonstrates the following:
• NIH-funded and/or similar grant support;
• Experience in managing research teams or programs;
• Experience building collaborative relationships with community partners; and
• Experience developing productive partnerships with new and emerging investigators.

Experience conducting research that addresses the determinants of substance abuse behaviors in Alaska and the circumpolar north is preferred.

President and Chief Executive Officer - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Gateway Rehabilitation Center

BACKGROUND

Gateway Rehabilitation Center (Gateway Rehab), a private, not-for-profit organization, is a positive force in the prevention, treatment, education and research of substance abuse and alcoholism. Since 1972, the center has thrived under the guiding spirit of its founder and medical director emeritus, Abraham J. Twerski, M.D. This renowned author and physician first opened Gateway Rehab as a 28-day, abstinence-based alcohol and drug dependence treatment center for adults. Dr. Kenneth Ramsey has led the organization for 36 years, growing it from a one-site fledgling facility to a robust financially stable $30 million organization with more than 20 sites.  Today, Gateway Rehab is an internationally recognized leader in addiction treatment offering an array of services for adolescents, youth, and adults with a compassionate and individualized approach.

The mission of Gateway Rehab is to help all affected by addictive diseases to become healthy in body, mind and spirit. The center took root in the Pittsburgh region, growing to treat about 1,200 adults a year. In 1992, the mission expanded to help youth with substance abuse problems. In 2012, Gateway Rehab opened its Youth Services Center, conveniently located just minutes from the Pittsburgh International Airport. This facility is exclusively for adolescents and offers gender-specific treatment in a serene environment.

With a strong financial foundation, the organization is led by a committed Board of Directors with a staff of nearly 700 employees treating 1,700 patients on any given day in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The services of Gateway Rehab are broad and all-encompassing for adults and adolescents:  detox, in-patient, out-patient, half-way houses, corrections, Employee Assistance Programs and after-care.
