Establishes Office of Alcohol and Drug Use Disorders Policy to oversee, direct, and coordinate resources, funding, and data tracking concerning treatment of substance use disorders.
S 319 establishes a new Office of Alcohol and Drug Use Disorders Policy within New Jersey's Executive Branch, reporting directly to the Governor. The office coordinates state efforts across departments to improve prevention, treatment, and research for substance use disorders, requiring an annual statewide master plan and distributing grants to counties for local programs. It mandates creation of a centralized treatment resource database to track services, allocate funding, and evaluate provider performance. This bill directly affects state agencies, county governments, and residents seeking substance use disorder treatment by standardizing coordination and resource allocation.
