Pathways to Recovery

If you’ve been impacted by opioids, it can be difficult to reenter the workforce or change careers. The NJDOL provides employment assistance to those with a personal history of opioid use or who have a friend of family member with a history of opioid use, so they can reenter the workforce. The program’s goal is to provide participants with skills and training to support their transition into employment.  Pathways to Recovery offers services to the following counties: Atlantic, Camden, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Mercer, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, Union, and Warren.  This service is FREE.
