Supporting Recovery in Newark's Communities

Medicare-covered virtual recovery coaching for individuals and families across Essex County.

Newark is New Jersey's largest city and the heart of Essex County, home to a richly diverse population with deep cultural roots in the Ironbound, South Ward, and Central Ward neighborhoods. For older adults navigating recovery, the city's density can be both a strength and a challenge — community ties run deep, but accessing quality support services often means long bus rides or navigating congested streets. Many seniors in Newark rely on Medicare for their healthcare, yet may not realize that virtual recovery coaching is now a covered benefit. You Are Accountable brings peer-led, one-on-one coaching directly to Newark residents through secure video sessions, eliminating transportation barriers while honoring the privacy that recovery requires. Whether your loved one lives near Branch Brook Park or in the neighborhoods surrounding University Hospital, consistent support is just a phone call away.

In a city as busy as Newark, getting to an in-person appointment can mean navigating NJ Transit delays, finding parking near University Heights, or traveling across town from the East Ward. Virtual coaching removes every one of those obstacles. Your loved one connects with a certified peer recovery coach from the comfort and privacy of their own home — no waiting rooms, no travel stress. Sessions fit around medical appointments at University Hospital or Newark Beth Israel, and Medicare covers the cost entirely.
