Mercer Office on Addiction Services seeks community's opinion on substance use

Survey aims to understand concerns about 'use disorders'

The Office on Addiction Services is completing a community needs assessment, which guides the funding priorities for the Mercer County County Comprehensive Plan 2024-2027, and has issued a questionnaire to help determine the funding needs and gaps in services for Mercer County residents in accordance to Public Law 1983, ch.51. Responding to this questionnaire will allow the Office on Addiction Services to hear your concerns regarding the needs surrounding substance use disorders in Mercer County.

Mercer County residents can complete this questionnaire here; it will take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. To participate, you must be at least 18 years old. Responses will be collected through November 28. 

If you have any questions, please contact Ann Dorocki at adorocki@mercercounty.org or 609-989-6897.

Thank you for your interest and assistance in this effort!

The department's goal is to create an environment of public trust by empowering and strengthening individuals and families, advocating for sound policy, mobilizing resources, and acting as champions for those citizens who are most vulnerable and in need of services.

Through its offices and divisions, the Department of Human Services provides funding to community-based organizations for those organizations to provide direct services to Mercer County residents. The department does not provide direct services to Mercer County residents, but directs Mercer County residents to where they can access services. With this funding, the Department of Human Services complies with procurement practices in accordance with the New Jersey Public Contracts Law 40:A:11-1 et seq.
