HOW TO FIND ADDICTION AND RECOVERY RESOURCES
When it comes to options for treatment and recovery services, there’s a lot out there; too much to provide you with a single, manageable resource guide. Fortunately, there are ways to find resources without printing out hundreds of pages of lists.
ONE WAY IS PROVIDED by the State of New Jersey Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS). Its website is a wealth of information, including a searchable directory to assist in locating programs for alcohol and drug abuse treatment and related services.
Go to:➢ https://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/dmhas/home/hotlines
➢ Click on “Are You Looking for Substance Abuse Treatment?”
➢ Click on the “searchable directory,” which brings up a box: If you want to search for services and programs now, please click here. Go to the Directory »
ANOTHER WAY IS PROVIDED by CITY OF ANGELS NJ, INC., an independent organization that provides services, including interventions, recovery support and more. You can use their link to get to the DMHAS searchable directory for treatment facilities, but also use their links for free detox centers, Sober houses, Recovery Coaches and more.
Go to: http://www.cityofangelsnj.org and click on “Get Help.”
ANOTHER WAY IS PROVIDED by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Its “Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator” is an online source of information for persons
seeking treatment facilities in the United States or U.S. Territories for substance abuse/addiction
and/or mental health problems.
SAMHSA endeavors to keep the Locator current. All information in the Locator is updated annually.
New facilities that meet all the qualifications are added monthly.
Updates to facility names, addresses, telephone numbers, and services are made weekly for
facilities informing SAMHSA of changes. Go to:➢ https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/locator
➢ The SAMHSA Locator page comes up with a map of the United States and a box at the top to indicate your address, city, state and zip, the radius of miles from your address, and boxes to check for what you’re looking for.
