Friends of Addiction Recovery-New Jersey has established chapters in Union County, Essex County, Middlesex County, Mercer County, and Burlington County that can make a difference in the lives of addicted individuals and those in recovery.  Each chapter has held focus groups to determine the needs in their particular county and are now working to engage and rally residents in recovery from addiction, their families, friends and allies in a campaign to:

• Educate the public and end stigma
• Improve treatment and access to it
• Support Recovery
• Celebrate the positive aspects of recovery

Friend's signature event is the annual Rally for Recovery. The Rally shows New Jerseyans that addiction recovery is a reality, and gives hope to individuals and families still affected by the throes of addiction. It also offers those fortunate enough to be in recovery the chance to share in another’s recovery and also help to educate the public that "Recovery Happens".
