Renewal Springs is seeking an Internal Medicine APRN to support our medically supervised detox program in Oklahoma City. This position is ideal for a provider who is comfortable managing the medical needs of adults entering substance use withdrawal treatment.

The Internal Medicine APRN will provide medical evaluation, withdrawal management support, medication management, ongoing medical monitoring, and consultation to nursing staff and leadership. This role works closely with the Medical Director, Director of Nursing, psychiatric providers, and medical team to ensure safe, compliant, and high-quality care.

• Assess and monitor clients experiencing alcohol, opioid, benzodiazepine, stimulant, and other substance withdrawal symptoms.

• Complete in-person medical rounds at the facility for a few hours per week, including client check-ins, review of active medical concerns, coordination with nursing staff, and documentation of findings in the EMR.
• Develop and update medical plans of care in collaboration with the Medical Director and nursing team.
• Order, review, and interpret labs, diagnostic information, and outside medical records as clinically appropriate.
• Prescribe and manage medications within scope of practice, facility policy, Oklahoma law, DEA requirements, and applicable privileging.

• Respond to nursing questions regarding withdrawal symptoms, medication concerns, abnormal vital signs, adverse reactions, and client safety issues.
• Document all assessments, orders, progress updates, medication changes, and medical decisions accurately in the EMR.
• Participate in quality assurance, peer review, medical case review, and compliance activities as assigned.
• Support a trauma-informed, ethical, and recovery-oriented treatment environment.

• Internal Medicine, Family Practice, Adult-Gerontology, or related primary care background strongly preferred.
• DEA registration required.
• Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs registration required.

Work Environment

Renewal Springs provides medically supervised withdrawal management in a structured behavioral health setting.
