New Jersey Drug Addiction Hotlines

What Can I Expect From a New Jersey Drug Hotline?

New Jersey drug addiction services hotlines are staffed with trained advisors who will listen to your story, offer support, and provide information on individualized treatment options based on your needs. At American Addiction Centers, many of our advisors, who answer these calls, have struggled with substance use and are in recovery themselves. They know firsthand what you’re experiencing and are ready to help you start your journey to recovery.

How Do I Know I Should Call a New Jersey Addiction Hotline?

If you believe you or someone you love may be misusing drugs and are unsure whether you should call a New Jersey drug abuse hotline, there are a couple of common addiction questions you can ask yourself:

• Has drug or alcohol use become more frequent, serious, or is it causing issues? Have you begun noticing symptoms of binge drinking?
• Have you or someone you love suggested they wanted to get sober and didn’t know where to start?
• Do you need help or advice on how to approach the topic of addiction and get a loved one the help or resources they need?
• Have you or someone you love started to neglect responsibilities at school, work, or home in favor of substance use?
• Have you or someone you love started acting out of character, continuing to use drugs or alcohol despite reservations, relationship impacts, an increased need to achieve the same feeling (tolerance), or mental/physical withdrawal symptoms that could indicate dependence?

If any of the above sounds familiar, a local 24/7 New Jersey drug addiction hotline can offer you the advice you need to begin finding help. We have also created an addiction self assessment if you are still unsure as to whether your substance use (or that of a loved one) has become problematic.

Can I Call a New Jersey Drug Treatment Hotline for Someone Else?

Yes, you can call a toll-free, confidential New Jersey drug treatment helpline on behalf of someone else. Treatment advisors will walk you through how to talk to someone about addiction.. Addiction can take a heavy toll on all parties involved so taking the first step by calling a hotline can help.
