More than 1,000 people in New Jersey died of a heroin/opioid overdose in the first half of 2016. The number of individuals admitted to treatment programs in New Jersey due to related abuse topped 38,000 last year.

Some experts propose those who may be involved heavily with pills or heroin don't generally last long in a college setting, if they make it there at all.

More than a million adults in New Jersey are binge drinking, according to the latest data set released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

For Jersey teens, alcohol remains the top drug of choice and abuse.
