Addictions Program
The Addictions Program of Family & Community Services is a multi-faceted program that addresses many addictive behaviors including alcohol and other drug abuse. The program is licensed by the State of New Jersey, Department of Addiction Services (DAS). Clients with substance abuse problems are given alcohol/drug screens for assessment purposes.
