樱花视频 Health Department Highlights Ongoing Expansion of Harm Reduction Services in NJ
Approvals Expand Operations to 12 of 樱花视频's 21 Counties
TRENTON – Following regulatory changes implemented by the Murphy Administration in July 2023 to facilitate the development of harm reduction centers (HRCs) throughout our state, the 樱花视频 Department of Health (NJDOH) today highlighted the ongoing approvals of new centers and efforts to grow the reach of existing centers. Since 樱花视频 began accepting new applications for harm reduction centers on a rolling basis in July, seven additional HRC applicants have been approved in 2023 – effectively doubling the number of approved HRCs in the state. HRCs are now authorized to operate in 12 of the state’s 21 counties.
“Harm reduction is a key component of our state’s ongoing efforts to support the individuals and families that have been impacted by the ongoing substance use crisis facing our nation,” said Governor Phil Murphy. “Enabling the expansion of harm reduction centers in more communities throughout our state will make it easier for residents to access essential, evidence-based services in compassionate and understanding environments. These approvals represent the continued progress our state is making in red
