This Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we honor and remember the words of Dr. King and his call to rise above our own self-interest to enact change for the betterment of all humanity. A social worker can strive for no less.
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Know Your Rights: Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
As many of you know, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (i.e. methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone) has been proven to be safe and effective. Evidence demonstrates that MAT increases treatment retention while reducing morbidity and mortality, opioid use, overdoses, and risk behaviors that transmit HIV and hepatitis C.
Despite decades of research and evidence, some drug treatment providers still discriminate against people on MAT which can be deadly and it is against the law. In January 2018, NJ enacted
legislation
to protect individuals who are using MAT from discrimination by drug treatment providers. Please see this new
factsheet
for more information.
If you have or someone you know has been denied other drug treatment services because they are using MAT, please contact the State of NJ at the numbers below:
- Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services Hotline: 1-800-382-6717
- Department of Banking and Insurance Consumer Hotline: 1-800-446-7467

Highlight a Special Social Worker
Seeking inspiring stories for publication in multiple outlets
NASW-NJ is collecting stories of social workers in New Jersey--stories of social workers creating programs, leading research, helping clients, students, driving community advocacy, providing clinical support, etc. We plan to begin sharing these stories in March 2019 during Social Work Month via our online blog, social media, FOCUS, and will even feature a few as part of our collaboration with New Jersey Monthly Magazine.
Do you know a social worker who is doing exceptional things in our state? Do you have a story to share? We'd love to hear!
Please complete the form to nominate a social worker--and remember, all submissions must be of individuals with a formal social work degree (BSW, MSW, PhD, DSW)!

CMS Quality Payment Program Exclusion: What This Victory Means for Clinical Social Workers
In June 2019, CMS-1693-P, the proposed rule for the 2019 physician fee schedule, listed clinical social workers as eligible providers for the 2019 quality payment program. NASW responded to the proposed rule explaining why it would be problematic for clinical social workers to report quality measures successfully in 2019. For now, the 2019 MIPS exclusion is a victory for clinical social workers who have reported relief and contentment for the exclusion.
