Provider Overview
New Jersey is home to nearly 9 million people across 21 counties and 565 municipalities.1 Unfortunately, New Jersey is not immune to the effects of addiction. Consider the following:2
- From 2017–2019, among those 12 and older in New Jersey, 6.1% (464,000 people) cited past-year substance use disorder (SUD), which is lower than the national average of 7.4% of the population in the same age group.
- Approximately 4.2% of the New Jersey population older than 12 cited past-year alcohol use disorder (AUD) and 2.4% cited past-year illicit drug use disorder.
