Addiction Treatment Resources in Morris County, NJ

Keep in mind: one county system, many towns

Keep in mind: people calling Parsippany Detox Assistance from Denville, Rockaway, Randolph, or Mount Olive often ask whether their town has its own separate addiction services. Keep in mind: it does not. For this guide, Morris County runs one coordinated public system, reachable the same way whether someone lives near Route 46 in Parsippany or off Route 10 in Randolph.

Here, this organization is based at 6 Century Dr in Parsippany, and its phone line (862-369-7533) is answered 24 hours a day. Keep in mind: it is not a treatment provider — there is no diagnosis, no admission, and no insurance billing here. For reference, the purpose of this page is to describe how the actual county and state system fits together, so a call to this line, or to any of the numbers below, starts from an informed place.

Parsippany has the most local detail on this site — see the For this guide, Parsippany detox and treatment resources page for town-level starting points, or the Keep in mind: north Jersey overview to widen the search into neighboring counties.

For reference, the county department behind the scenes

For this guide, Morris County's Department of Community & Behavioral Health Services plans and funds the county's publicly supported mental health, addiction, homelessness, and juvenile justice programs. Keep in mind: it does not see clients directly; instead it contracts with local organizations that do, and it maintains a public mental health page pointing residents toward those organizations and toward 988 for urgent needs.

Keep in mind: because contracted providers change over time, it's important to check the county's current listing instead of relying on an old bookmark or an ad-driven directory found through a search engine.

Keep in mind: getting screened in an urgent situation

Keep in mind: for same-day clinical evaluation — for example, concern about withdrawal risk or a mental health crisis — Saint Clare's Hospital in Denville operates the county's designated 24/7 psychiatric screening service. For this guide, Morristown Medical Center and Chilton Medical Center in Pompton Plains also run emergency departments that residents throughout the county can reach.

To reach help, call 911 for any life-threatening emergency. Keep in mind: reach out by calling or texting 988 for a mental health or substance use crisis at any hour. Keep in mind: for a calmer conversation about options, ReachNJ (1-844-732-2465) and the IME Addictions Access Center (1-844-276-2777) are both staffed 24 hours a day and can connect callers to licensed New Jersey programs.

Keep in mind: mobile outreach and the courts

For reference, the Morris County Sheriff's Office runs Hope One, a van that travels a published rotating route through towns across the county, offering a lower-barrier way to connect with recovery support and overdose prevention resources without visiting an office. For reference, the Sheriff's Office also takes part in Community Connections, working with the Morris County Prosecutor's Office and the Superior Court to link court-involved residents with recovery and mental health support.

For this guide, Morris County's Superior Court in Morristown operates a Recovery Court track — the renamed statewide Drug Court program — pairing supervision with treatment for eligible defendants instead of incarceration. Keep in mind: eligibility depends on legal criteria this organization is unable to evaluate; a public defender or private attorney is the right person to ask about that.

Keep in mind: getting there from around the county

For this guide, NJ Transit bus and rail service, along with Routes 46, 80, 287, and 10, connect most Morris County towns to Morristown, Denville, and Parsippany within a reasonably short drive or ride. Keep in mind: distance to a specific licensed facility can vary by town — someone in Boonton may have a shorter trip to certain providers than someone in Mount Olive — but eligibility for county and state services does not itself depend on which town someone lives in.

Keep in mind: before you commit to a provider

For this guide, Morris County has hospital-affiliated, nonprofit, and privately owned treatment providers. Keep in mind: before choosing one, confirm current licensing through the New Jersey Department of Health's facility search instead of taking a directory listing at face value.

Keep in mind: it's also fair to ask whether the person answering a phone number works directly for the licensed facility, since some numbers found online route to third-party call centers. Keep in mind: request costs and insurance details in a written document before deciding — a program unwilling to put terms in a written document before entering care is showing you something worth paying attention to.
