We are looking forward to starting the year off learning about current trends in treatment and recovery services and our first meeting of 2025 will be packed with lots of helpful information! We are happy to have Jennifer Luyster, Assistant Director of Clinical Services for Barnabas Health Institute for Prevention and Recovery (IFPR). If you do not know what the IFPR is or what they do, or even if you think you know, then this meeting is for you!!
We are fortunate to have a local medical center that invests so much in helping people with substance use disorder to find and maintain recovery. Jennifer has a wealth of knowledge about recovery and the programs available to help your person get the most from the services offered through IFPR and beyond!
