Under a $5-million plan presented by New Jersey welfare officials, two new addiction-treatment programs will be opened in the state and another would receive funding for expansion, the Associated Press reported April 27. In addition, two new programs will be established in Newark and Lafayette.
New Jersey had a total of 53,673 admissions to addiction treatment programs and drug rehab programs 2004. The majority of these addiction treatment admissions - over 43% - were for the addiction treatment of heroin addiction. Treatment for drug addiction (only) and treatment of alcoholism combined with a second drug addiction counted for about 27% of the admissions. There were 6,431 admissions to addiction treatment for marijuana abuse as well.
The State of New Jersey is situated between the major industrial markets of New York and Philadelphia and has been referred to as the "crossroads of the east." It is considered a gateway state, with major interstate highways, roadways, international airports/seaports, and other infrastructures capable of accommodating voluminous amounts of passenger and cargo traffic.
Therefore, New Jersey is an ideal strategic corridor as well as a vulnerable corridor for transportation of drug contraband and illicit currency. Over the past year, drug trafficking activity and drug prices in the Newark Division (ND) remained relatively constant. However, a new drug addiction trend has emerged, whereby Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs) establish stash houses in suburban communities.
