M-WRAP is a free, voluntary recovery support program for pregnant women with current or past substance use disorder (SUD). The program is grant-funded by the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS), Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS). 

The M-WRAP program was first launched state-wide in 2018 to address the complex needs of pregnant/postpartum women with opioid use disorder.  The program has since expanded to provide for the needs of pregnant/postpartum women with any substance use disorder. 

This free, voluntary, client-centered, non-clinical recovery support program seeks to help clients initiate, strengthen or sustain their recovery. Our wraparound recovery support services include the following: 

Intensive Case Management 

• Connect clients to medical and prenatal care
• Refer clients to substance use treatment services that address the specific needs of pregnant women
• Assist clients with navigating admissions paperwork, applications, and other tasks that need to be completed to successfully access services 
• Advocate for clients when needed to eliminate barriers to accessing services  
• Help clients connect with community resources that may help them meet the ongoing needs of their family 

Peer Recovery Support 

• Create a safe space for clients to share openly about their substance use and recovery challenges 
• Serve as a mentor for clients, modeling recovery skills, and sharing first-hand recovery experience
• Share resources and accompany clients to local community resource agencies 
• Share and discuss different recovery tools and strategies 
• Educate clients about the recovery process 
• Assist clients with developing a recovery support network
• Provide transportation for medical, clinical, and supportive care needs, as needed, until access to reliable transportation can be secured
