LGBTQ Detox in New Jersey

Treatment rules and programs in New Jersey

Who oversees treatment

The Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), part of the Department of Human Services, is New Jersey's designated single state agency for substance use and mental health. Substance use treatment facilities are licensed by the Department of Health under N.J.A.C. 8:43K.

Prescription monitoring

The New Jersey Prescription Monitoring Program (NJPMP) is run by the Division of Consumer Affairs. It tracks controlled dangerous substances dispensed in outpatient settings, and licensed prescribers and pharmacists can check a patient's history.

Public coverage for treatment

New Jersey's Medicaid program is NJ FamilyCare, which covers most substance use treatment services for eligible people.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

New Jersey's Overdose Prevention Act (P.L. 2013, c.46) protects a person who calls for medical help during an overdose, and the overdose victim, from arrest and prosecution for certain drug possession and use offenses. It does not cover other crimes such as trafficking.

Care that includes transgender and nonbinary people

Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

Read our transgender rehab guide for more.

What detox involves

Detox manages withdrawal safely while a substance leaves your body. Hospital and residential detox provide around-the-clock monitoring; outpatient detox suits milder withdrawal. Alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids are the substances where medical detox matters most.

Every program on this page reports detox services and an LGBTQ program or group to SAMHSA.

Paying for treatment
