CARS provides 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.

What Are Recovery Support Services?

Recovery support services are non-clinical, supports often provided by individuals who are in recovery themselves, that assist individuals in initiating and sustaining recovery from an SUD. NJ-CARS believes it is essential that individuals in, or seeking, recovery have affordable access to local, culturally-informed, community-based services to assist them and their families in the early stages of recovery, regardless of where in the state that person lives.
