Our meetings are judgment-free, and all pathways of recovery are embraced here.
We offer our meetings as an alternative or in addition to other programs. We are not in opposition to abstinence-only groups; however, we are not 12-step-based. The typical narrative mistakenly places harm reduction in opposition to abstinence, which is inaccurate. If you are abstinent from drugs and/or alcohol, you are welcome here. If you are using MAT (medication-assisted treatment) or other drugs, you are welcome here. If you are practicing moderation, you are welcome here.
If you are doing great or struggling, you are welcome here.

NOT ONE MORE - ENDING OVERDOSE
Our communities are on the frontlines of the overdose crisis, but we imagine a world where we treat each other with care. A world where people aren’t locked away for their mistakes but are offered a way to heal. We are people who use drugs, people in recovery, and loved ones of people with substance use disorder, and we are dedicated to taking action to end the overdose crisis. We fight for access to healthcare, treatment, and harm reduction tools that meet us where we’re at, are evidence-based and affordable, and empower every New Jerseyan who struggles with addiction to live healthier lives.
We have monthly virtual meetings for anyone looking to get involved in the fight and build community together. New members are always welcome.
We meet every second Thursday of the month at 6:00 p.m. – join us by RSVP’ing at njorganizing.us/notonemorenjmtg
