Our Recovery Specialists
Our Recovery Specialists, who themselves are in long-term recovery, meet survivors of overdoses at all Bergen County hospital emergency rooms. The Recovery Specialists work to guide survivors into treatment and also provide essential follow-up services, connecting survivors with treatment and support services.
“On the day I met with the Recovery Specialist, I was angry and didn’t want to talk. Looking back, I’m so glad I did. I went into detox and treatment and am amazed at how I can handle things in a calm, responsible manner now.”
