Discharge Planner/Case Manager- (JBTP) - Naphcare, Inc.

NaphCare is partnering with the Washoe County Sherriff's Office to hire a Discharge Planner/Case Manager to join our Jail Based Treatment Program that operates as a 30-bed adult specialized behavioral health unit at Washoe County Detention Facility in Reno, NV.  The Jail Based Treatment Program is supported by the SNAMHS and funded through the NV-DHHS Division of Public and Behavioral Health.

The Jail-Based Treatment Program (JBTP) provides specialized behavioral health services for patients awaiting transfer to a state hospital for further psychiatric treatment.
