S 2878 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services to facilitate establishment of four new recovery community centers.

This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services to establish four new recovery community centers. These centers provide non-clinical, peer-led support for people recovering from substance use disorders, offering services like recovery coaching, job training, mental wellness groups, and on-site childcare. The Division must seek funding from any source to support these centers and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on progress, including recommendations for expanding services. The bill directly affects individuals in recovery and the state agency responsible for implementing it, with no clinical treatment provided.
