Monmouth County Addiction & Recovery Resources

If this is an emergency

If someone is in immediate danger, having a medical emergency, or at risk of overdose, call 911 right away. For a mental health or suicidal crisis, you can call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, which connects you to trained counselors 24 hours a day. These are the first calls in any emergency, before any of the treatment resources below.

This page is a general directory, not medical or legal advice. Programs, contacts, and eligibility change over time, so confirm details directly with each resource. For treatment specifically, Archangel Centers can be reached at (888) 464-2144.

Screening and crisis access in Monmouth County

New Jersey routes psychiatric and addiction crisis access through county-designated screening services and statewide lines. If a loved one is in crisis or you are weighing involuntary commitment, your starting point is the county's designated psychiatric screening service, which can assess the situation and guide next steps.

• Contact Monmouth County's designated psychiatric screening service for crisis assessment and guidance
• Call 911 for any immediate danger or suspected overdose
• Call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for a mental health crisis, 24 / 7
• Ask any New Jersey hospital emergency department about behavioral health crisis evaluation

Statewide addiction help lines

New Jersey funds free, confidential lines that help residents find treatment regardless of insurance or ability to pay. These are useful first calls when you are not sure where to begin.

• ReachNJ, the state addiction help line, at 1-844-732-2465 (1-844-ReachNJ), free and available 24 / 7
• NJ FamilyCare for questions about New Jersey Medicaid coverage for treatment
• The SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 for free, confidential treatment referrals
• The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for crisis and emotional support

Naloxone and harm reduction

Naloxone (Narcan) reverses an opioid overdose and is widely available in New Jersey without a prescription. Keeping it on hand can save a life while someone works toward treatment.

• Naloxone is available at New Jersey pharmacies without a prescription under a standing order
• Many county and community programs distribute naloxone for free
• Learn the signs of an opioid overdose and how to administer naloxone before an emergency happens
• Call 911 immediately during any overdose, even after giving naloxone

Mutual-aid and ongoing support

Peer support is a durable part of recovery, and Monmouth County has an active network of free mutual-aid meetings alongside professional treatment. These complement, rather than replace, clinical care.

• Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings throughout Monmouth County
• Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings across the region
• SMART Recovery and other secular mutual-aid options for those who prefer them
• Family support groups such as Al-Anon and Nar-Anon for loved ones
