The holidays can be joyful—but also stressful for many in recovery. Here are ways to stay grounded and safe:

✨ Buddy Up – Don’t Use Alone
If you’re using alone, call Never Use Alone, the U.S. National Overdose Response Line: 1-800-484-3731. Someone will stay on the phone with you in case of emergency.

✨ Keep Naloxone Handy – It Saves Lives
Get a free naloxone (Narcan) kit by calling/texting 609-618-0360.

✨ Test Your Substances
Protect yourself by checking for fentanyl, xylazine, or medetomidine. Free test strips available—call/text 609-618-0360.

✨ Plan Safe Rides Home
Don’t drive under the influence. Arrange sober transportation, rideshare, or a trusted friend.

✨ Check In With Loved Ones
Stay connected. Reach out to friends, family, or our team if you need support.

You are not alone. We’re here for you this season. ❤️

Cold weather can cause naloxone to freeze at 5°F or below. When frozen, the spray will not work. After Narcan fully thaws at room temperature (about 15 minutes), it can be used and is effective.

If an overdose is suspected while naloxone is frozen, do not wait, call 911 right away. If the person is not breathing or is breathing slowly, provide rescue breathing until naloxone can be given and help arrives.

Having naloxone on hand is an important part of workplace first aid and emergency preparedness.

Organizations and businesses in Ocean County can get it for free through Sea Change Recovery Community Center.

Our office will be closed on December 25 for the holiday. If you need support, safe supplies, or naloxone (Narcan) before then, please call, text, or request services online today.

New Jersey has a chance and a responsibility to do what’s right. The $45 million from the opioid settlement was intended to support life-saving, community programs like harm reduction services, supportive housing, legal help, and more.

Taking these funds away from the people most affected by overdose undoes years of planning and puts life-saving programs at risk.

We urge Governor Murphy and the Legislature to pass Senate Bill 4792 and Assembly Bill 6165, restore the $45 million, and set up strong safeguards so these resources cannot be taken away again.

This is more than just a budget issue; it is a moral responsibility. New Jersey should support its communities, respect the purpose of the settlement, and invest in proven solutions that prevent overdose deaths.

Now is the time to act. Sign the petition today.
