Newark Detox Resource Center

About Our Organization

About Newark Detox Resource Center

We are an independent information and referral resource for people and families exploring addiction-treatment and recovery options in Newark and Essex County, New Jersey.

Safety note: For a medical emergency, call 911. For immediate mental-health or substance-use crisis support, call or text 988.

What We Do

We publish general educational information and answer phone calls from people looking for a starting point. On a call, we can explain common terminology, identify independent programs based on stated needs and availability, and facilitate contact for provider assessment and admission.

What We Do Not Do

We do not provide medical detoxification, clinical diagnosis, counseling, emergency care, crisis intervention, or treatment services. We do not make admission decisions, assess clinical needs, guarantee availability, or tell anyone which provider to choose.

We are not a hospital, clinic, detox facility, treatment center, licensed medical provider, insurer, or government agency, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.

How We Approach Information

  • We describe options neutrally and avoid ranking, rating, or endorsing providers.
  • We cite public, authoritative sources such as federal and state health agencies.
  • We say plainly when something depends on an individual clinical situation, and we direct those questions to qualified professionals.
  • We do not use fear-based messaging, guaranteed outcomes, or promises about results.
