Pathways to Recovery

If you’ve been impacted by opioids, it can be difficult to reenter the workforce or change careers. The NJDOL provides employment assistance to those with a personal history of opioid use or who have a friend of family member with a history of opioid use, so they can reenter the workforce.

The Pathways to Recovery program provides services to individuals whose workforce conditions have been impacted by the opioid epidemic, including: 

  • Training Services
  • Career Services
  • Supportive Services

The program’s goal is to provide participants with skills and training to support their transition into employment. 

Pathways to Recovery is available statewide. 

For further information and resources, please visit: PTR Home - Pathways to Recovery

To be eligible, individuals must:

  • Be able to answer yes to the following question: Do you, a friend, or any member of your family have a history of opioid use?
  • Be in need of workforce services, training or retraining to secure unsubsidized employment
  • Be age 18 or older
  • Reside in New Jersey

To receive personalized support, reach out to the awarded grantees serving your residential county for information on services available.
