Blue Hope Program Tuesday February 25th, 2020 09:00am to 4:00pm Ocean Township Police Department 50 Railroad Ave. Waretown, NJ 08758 Those who are struggling with a substance abuse disorder and have been thinking about seeking help can do so tomorrow and every Tuesday from 9am to 4pm at the Ocean Township Police Department. BLUE HOPE is similar to the original concept in which residents with a substance use disorder can choose to use a participating local police department to get a linked to a provider/licensed agency for an evaluation. This evaluation will help the participant assess the level of care needed and the provider/licensed agency will assist in navigating and linking the resident to treatment. BLUE HOPE is not an automatic linkage to detox or inpatient services. BLUE HOPE will serve as an entry point for those individuals that are in need of services and/or treatment. BLUE HOPE participants will start with linkage to the appropriate level of treatment such as detoxification, residential, or outpatient. Participants will receive 12 weeks of follow up calls from their provider/licensed agency so further guidance and support can be provided. The participant will also have the option to voluntarily sign up for recovery case management services which would include face to face and telephone calls for support.
