If you are struggling with addiction, we can provide you with free medication, which will prevent withdrawal, reduce your cravings, and give you the opportunity to recover.
We are here for you.
Any morning from 6 am until 7 pm, just walk up the ramp at 89 Ewing Street, knock on our Shelter’s door, and we will bring you to see a professional from one of our partners, who can immediately provide you with the appropriate medication.
Or call 609.695.1436 ext. 142 and Alyese will be more than glad to help you.
In addition, you can have access to healthcare from one of our community partners who is willing to help with your recovery.
Our dedicated teams will work with you through every step of your recovery.
This innovative new program is funded by the New Jersey State Department of Human Services Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
At The Mission, you can also receive warm meals, a safe place to sleep, access to healthcare, behavioral health counseling, vocational development and the opportunity to obtain permanent supportive housing.
We invite you to take this first step of your recovery.
Here’s how it worked for Matthew:
When Matthew came to The Shelter, he said he felt lost, scared and hopeless. Then, Alyese Patterson, Manager of Care Coordination, asked if he was interested in recovery. And, he said, “Yes. Please.”
Alyese said, “I actually spoke with his sister before I spoke with him. So, I knew Matthew had a strong support system. Then, as I spoke with him, I could see the quality and motivation that was deep within him.” So she was able to get him into The Mission’s Behavioral Health Program, where Matthew thrived.
“She saved my life,” Matthew said about Alyese.
He was selected to participate in The New Direction Program, a transformative, nine-week experience that was introduced at The Mission to provide individuals in recovery with the opportunity to learn what drives them, connect with others who have overcome similar challenges, and develop their own clear career path.
Matthew is now employed at Lowes, and getting ready to leave The Mission for his own studio apartment in a Sober Living House in Trenton, where he intends to make a fresh start.
