Governor Murphy launches several new initiatives to fight the growing opioid abuse epidemic

Opioid addiction has hit just about every demographic in New Jersey in some way, but now there is a concentrated and proactive effort underway to focus in on deterring expectant and postpartum mothers from returning to these destructive drugs.

Charging someone for selling drugs is one thing. But to claim they are responsible for the death of the person choosing to take those drugs is absurd.

A new study finds a growing number of Jersey parents understand using prescription painkillers can lead to heroin abuse.

Drug users beware. Overdose deaths spike in Jersey because of a synthetic opioid that's being mixed with other drugs.

The arrest of Nnanna Akuma, 26, at his Norman Court apartment on Tuesday brought a month-long investigation to an end.

Volunteers throughout the state will be going door to door to spread the word.

As the rest of the country seems to be slowly getting a handle on it's opioid crisis, the problem only gets worse in New Jersey.
