Open Door Recovery Center
of Hunterdon County
About Us
The Open Door Recovery Center of Hunterdon is Hunterdon County’s Community Peer Recovery Center. Open Door is staffed and led by people in recovery from problematic substance use, and programming is designed specifically to meet the wants and needs of folks in recovery.
All staff members at the Open Door are Certified Peer Recovery Specialists (CPRS). Often called ‘peer specialists’ or ‘recovery coaches’, these staff members serve as recovery role models, system navigators, advocates, and community educators. The job of a CPRS is to help you achieve your recovery goals as you define them. The peer model emphasizes the power of self-determination, and the peer relationship is one of mutual respect, collaboration, and support. Peers are not counselors, clinicians, or therapists.
All services offered at the Open Door are grant-funded and free of charge.
Our Services
Individualized Support
Peer Recovery Coaching
Peer Recovery Specialists walk side by side with individuals seeking support in their recovery. It is not the job of a peer to tell you how to recover, but rather to support you as you find out what is best for your own self-determined recovery. Peer coaches help community members create their own recovery plans and develop their own recovery pathways. Our peer coaches are accessible via phone, computer, or in-person meeting, either on or off-site.
- Identify personal strengths that can help you reach and maintain your recovery goals.
- Develop positive coping skills that will help you better manage your challenges.
- Build peer relationships and create stronger natural support networks.
- Enhance social skills to allow you to live, work and participate more fully in your community.
- Build confidence and self‐advocacy skills.
- Navigate community services and resources such as, social services, education and employment assistance, health services, housing, etc.
- Offer emotional and social support, and help you develop a return to use prevention plan.
If you feel like you or a loved one is in need of a peer recovery coach, we would love to hear from you.

Wellness planning is designed to help individuals gain a better understanding of where they are in their recovery and what further support they may need. Completing a wellness plan provides the opportunity to:
- Explore SAMHSA’s 8 dimensions of wellness and learn about how each shows up in your recovery.
- Sit down with a member of our team and discuss current challenges and successes in your recovery.
- Receive linkages to community services and peer support programs based on your individual needs.
