The program aims to enhance recovery support services for clients who have completed their treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) within the state of New Jersey. The primary objective of the RMC program is to ensure ongoing support and identify potential areas where additional interventions or community resources may be needed by proactively addressing client issues and preventing recurrence of use, and when necessary, ensuring a swift return to treatment. The RMC program will engage clients monthly after their discharge from SUD treatment. (we can speak with/meet with individuals based on their needs and desire for frequency of contact). These engagements can occur through face-to-face meetings (either in-person or virtually), telephone conversations, or other communication avenues such as text messaging or chat platforms. By utilizing these diverse channels, we seek to provide continuous support, for a minimum of nine months, to individuals in recovery.
