About us
Founded in 2017, the NJ-CARS mission is to provide an inclusive platform to celebrate the hope of recovery, promote the value of individuals with lived experience, and to incorporate and strengthen recovery support services across the continuum of care for substance use disorders throughout New Jersey. We stand together with New Jersey constituents, a united front to help lift up people in recovery and their families. We are here to make sure that any New Jersey families struggling with addiction have access to support within their own communities. It is not enough for peers to be front line workers in recovery support. Individuals in recovery should be empowered to take the lead in developing, implementing, and governing these services. By coming together, we strengthen our voice to ensure we are heard by decision-makers, collateral service providers, and, most importantly, individuals struggling with substance use disorders and their loved ones. Membership is open to any individual or organization wishing to be involved in supporting addiction recovery services. NJ-CARS has created a web-based clearinghouse to allow individuals, families, treatment providers, and other stakeholders to easily identify the available community-based, non-clinical addiction recovery supports in their communities. Please note that all submissions will be reviewed by the NJ-CARS advisory committee before being added to the resource map. NJ-CARS reserves the right to deny any applicant organization/provider from being added to its resource map. To learn more, visit https://nj-cars.org/membership
