The North Jersey Community Research Initiative (NJCRI) is a community-centered nonprofit in Newark, New Jersey, providing outpatient care for adults with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Long rooted in the Newark community, NJCRI is known for meeting people where they are and reaching populations that traditional clinical settings often miss.

The center's outpatient model lets clients receive treatment while staying connected to home, work, and family. Services include individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and support services, drawing on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), with online therapy available. By treating mental health and substance use together, NJCRI addresses the conditions that so often reinforce one another.

As a community organization, NJCRI pairs clinical care with broader wraparound support — the kind of practical, stigma-aware help that keeps people engaged in treatment over time. That community-first orientation is central to how it serves Newark.

NJCRI accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and a range of commercial insurance. To ask about services or verify coverage, call (833) 546-3513 for a free, confidential conversation.
