State Flag of New Jersey

New Jersey has long been at the center of the opioid epidemic in the northeastern United States, with fentanyl, heroin, and prescription opioids driving thousands of overdose deaths in recent years. According to the New Jersey Department of Health, the state recorded over 2,800 drug-related deaths in a recent year, with synthetic opioids present in more than 90% of those cases.

While urban areas like Newark, Camden, and Paterson have historically experienced the highest rates of substance use and related deaths, addiction touches every part of the state—from affluent suburban counties to rural communities in South Jersey.

New Jersey expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, and the program now covers a full continuum of care for substance use disorders, including detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient therapy, and MAT (medication-assisted treatment).

Major cities and suburban counties benefit from a dense network of treatment providers, harm reduction organizations, and behavioral health professionals, but rural parts of the state, particularly in Salem, Cumberland, and Cape May counties, still face gaps in access due to provider shortages and transportation barriers.

Stigma remains a significant hurdle, especially in immigrant communities and among older residents, where addiction is often viewed as a moral failure or family shame. To combat this, the state has invested heavily in public education campaigns, peer recovery programs, and stigma-reduction efforts.

Harm reduction infrastructure is robust compared to many states, with widespread naloxone availability, syringe access programs, and legal protections under the Overdose Prevention Act. The state’s Recovery Court system also offers nonviolent drug offenders access to treatment in lieu of incarceration, with generally positive outcomes.

Telehealth has become an essential component of care delivery, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to reach clients in underserved areas and those with mobility challenges. Youth substance use, particularly involving vaping, marijuana, and alcohol, remains a focus of state and school district prevention efforts.

Culturally competent care is increasingly prioritized, particularly in communities with large Spanish-speaking, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and South Asian populations, and many providers now offer bilingual services. Faith-based programs and community recovery centers play a supplemental role in many parts of the state, often serving those who are reluctant to seek formal medical care.

New Jersey’s dense population and diverse communities present both logistical challenges and opportunities for scalable, data-driven responses to addiction. Continued coordination among state agencies, treatment providers, schools, and local governments will be essential to maintaining momentum and ensuring that recovery is accessible, affordable, and equitable for all residents..
