Paterson came in second with a 16% increase and was the home to a major narcotics supply network that was distributing millions of dollars’ worth of Heroin in 2012.

Benefits of the NJDC has helped criminals with addiction issues learn to overcome their dependencies with treatment and support meetings. The courts use accountability measures such as drug testing and weekly check ins with drug court officials to check in with participants.
