Getting Help for Opioid Addiction in Camden County

Where to start when someone you love is using — the county addiction office, naloxone access, and the treatment centers across South Jersey.

If someone you love is using opioids, help in Camden County doesn't require you to have everything figured out first.

The Camden County Office of Mental Health & Addiction (856-374-6361) can point you toward treatment, and the state's ReachNJ line offers 24/7 addiction support. Cooper University Health Care's Center for Healing — a state-recognized Medication for Addiction Treatment center, home to the 90-bed Recovery Village at Cooper in Cherry Hill — and organizations like Oaks Integrated Care provide everything from outpatient counseling to inpatient care across South Jersey. Naloxone (Narcan), which reverses an opioid overdose, is available at many Camden County pharmacies without a personal prescription.

If you're watching an overdose happen: call 911, give naloxone, give rescue breaths if they aren't breathing, and turn the person on their side once breathing returns. You can also reach the national SAMHSA helpline any time at 1-800-662-4357. This is education, not medical advice — but it's a place to start.
