NJ Towns With Most Heroin Abuse Cases: New Data Released For 2021
NEW JERSEY – A number of New Jersey towns had a sizable number of heroin-abuse cases this past year as the opiate drug continues to be a pervasive problem in the state's cities and suburban areas. And some officials worry that it could become a bigger problem amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
After a long delay, New Jersey released its annual list of heroin-abuse cases reported by each community this week, revealing the most recent data of reported cases. Below is the list of the towns with the highest-to-lowest number of cases per 1,000 people.
Patch also put together a list of towns with the most-to-least heroin abuse cases (see below).
While some communities such as Newark routinely appear at the top of the list, others, such as Toms River, Barnegat, Ventnor, Wildwood and even Point Pleasant Boro have an unusually high rate of abuse cases compared to other communities.

Some school officials have cited drug problems and mental health issues as potential concerns since students have been largely forced to attend school remotely amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
State officials cited those reasons for why they're loosening restrictions on school reopenings. Read more: NJ Loosens COVID-19 Rules And Guidance For Schools
The state statistics show how the drug has not only infested New Jersey's urban areas but the more unlikely places where suburban stories of abuse have developed into a sad, profound narrative: Brick, Toms River, Morristown, Cape May and Bay Head.
Topping the per-capita list is Wrightstown, a South Jersey community that has been singled out by NJ Advance Media and others for its high rate of heroin abuse cases.
The town had 110 cases – more than large towns like Wayne and East Brunswick – even though it has only 701 people.
The statistics were released by the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services in the New Jersey Department of Human Services, and they're based on the number of people seeking treatment for heroin abuse from the most recent year available, 2019.
The state Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services has cautioned that these numbers are reported by each community, so each jurisdiction is responsible for reporting its results fairly and accurately.
Here is the list of New Jersey towns with the highest-to-lowest number of cases per 1,000 people (the number indicates the number of cases per 1,000 people):
