Public Policy: The agency advocates for appropriate quality services for individuals affected by alcoholism and drug addiction as well as prevention services, especially for high-risk populations.

Public Information: The agency publishes a bi-monthly news journal, Perspectives: A Journal on Addiction Research and Public Policy, which keeps its 10,000 readers current on addiction public policy issues. The agency also uses this web site to publish news and information. We interface with media to promote a positive message regarding addiction and to promote messages that address stigma. We also publish fact sheets and policy analyses for the same purpose.

Friends of Addiction Recovery-New Jersey: NCADD-New Jersey is spearheading a project to organize the recovering community and its friends and supporters in New Jersey to provide a constituent voice in public policy, to reduce stigma, and to honor and to celebrate the positive experience of recovery.

Welfare-to-Work Care Coordination: NCADD-NJ advocates on a personal level for the most appropriate and adequate treatment for individuals within the welfare-to-work program, Work First New Jersey, through its Substance Abuse Initiative (SAI) program and Substance Abuse Research Demonstration (SARD) project. In both programs, individuals in the welfare system are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine the proper level of care, and treatment is approved and monitored by professional Master’s level counselors.
