Sussex County CLEAR Program

January is Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month.

This month is an opportunity to reflect on our relationships with substances, learn about SUD and effective treatment options, and connect to resources.

This month lets focus on empowering individuals to seek support and begin their recovery journey.

If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, now is the perfect time to learn about the resources and treatments available to support recovery.

If you need support, please call or text 844-722-5327
