New Jersey's Substance Abuse Monitoring System recorded 2,890 treatment admissions involving 1,878 unique Bergen County residents in 2024. Admissions count service episodes rather than individual people, so repeat admissions occur. Hackensack accounted for 294 resident admissions, the highest municipal count reported in the county table.
Alcohol was the primary substance in 1,433 Bergen County admissions, heroin in 588, cocaine in 225, other opiates in 174, and marijuana or synthetic cannabinoids in 305. The categories identify the primary drug recorded for each admission; they do not describe every substance used. New Jersey addiction statistics place those local treatment episodes within statewide patterns.
The state report recorded 845 outpatient, 776 intensive outpatient, 58 partial-hospitalization, and 371 residential-detox admissions among Bergen County residents. These counts represent different clinical settings, not interchangeable versions of rehab. Only 47% of resident admissions received treatment within Bergen County, showing that cross-county care is already part of the local treatment system.
Bergen County's Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services provides information and referral from One Bergen County Plaza in Hackensack. Its designated psychiatric emergency screening service is 262-HELP at 201-262-4357; 988 provides crisis support, and 911 is the correct response to overdose, unconsciousness, abnormal breathing, seizure, violence, or immediate danger. New Jersey recovery-support groups provide mutual aid after the immediate crisis has passed.
Valley Spring's treatment center is in Norwood, not Hackensack. Adults travel north for in-person care, while clinically appropriate IOP and outpatient clients may use virtual delivery. Partial Care remains an intensive, in-person daytime program with psychiatric oversight, nursing support, individual therapy, group treatment, case management, and daily clinical structure.
