In accordance with NJ Rev Stat § 26:2BB-1 (2024), the Governor's Council on Substance Use Disorder has developed a Master Plan for the treatment, prevention, research, evaluation, education and public awareness of substance use disorder in this State, which includes an emphasis on prevention, community awareness, and family/youth services. 

This Master Plan serves as a blueprint for the Council and the Alliances to Prevent Substance Use Disorder. It will be implemented through the FY27-31 grant cycle with annual updates as informed by emerging data and trends. The guiding values contained in this document, along with the significant work being done by our Council members and Alliances, reflect our commitment to provide meaningful, effective, research-driven prevention programming to the hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans across all 21 counties served by their work.
