>>>> The 2007 New Jersey General Election Guide represents the non-partisan efforts of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence – New Jersey (NCADD – NJ) to identify key issues affecting addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery programs and to educate the public about these issues. NCADD-New Jersey works in partnership with and on behalf of individuals, families, and communities affected by alcoholism and drug dependence to promote recovery through excellence in prevention and treatment initiatives. Through the organization’s leadership, laws and public policies will be established and enforced that promote recovery, eliminate discrimination, and remove systemic barriers that impede ready access to treatment.

As New Jersey’s 2007 general election draws near, voters and candidates might want to contemplate how addicted individuals have been stigmatized and consider pursuing sound public policy strategies that recognize addiction for what it is: a preventable and treatable disease. The 2007 New Jersey General Election Guide highlights some important issues pertaining to the treatment of alcoholism and drug dependence. Please be aware of the issues brought forth in this guide and remember to vote on Election Day.
