HEROIN USE TRIPLES IN SUBURBS
A New Jersey study released yesterday showed that the number of
city-dwelling heroin users treated each year in the state dropped by half
during the 1990s, while the number treated from suburban and rural areas
nearly tripled. Addiction centers in the state treated 1,817 suburban and
rural heroin users in 1999, up from just 691 in 1993; and in the same
period the number of urban users treated annually dropped from 2,018 to 1,076.
