Provides for expansion of certain support team addiction recovery programs; appropriates $1,995,000 from opioid recovery and remediation fund.

This bill appropriates $1,995,000 from New Jersey's Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund to expand addiction recovery support services. It allocates $1,715,000 to supplement existing federal funding for STAR (Support Team Addiction Recovery) programs statewide, $192,500 to establish a STAR Jail Expansion program in Passaic County, and $87,500 for staff salaries for case managers and recovery support specialists. The STAR programs provide case management and recovery support services to individuals with substance use disorders, while the STAR Jail Expansion program specifically serves people recently released from correctional facilities. The bill specifies these funds are supplemental to, not a replacement for, existing federal funding for these programs. The funding supports evidence-based approaches to addressing opioid use disorder and co-occurring conditions.
