Surveys done in Delaware have revealed, 2,234 of Delaware's 8,480 Drug and Alcohol abusers that admitted themselves into treatment for Heroin. These surverys were preformed by The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). Studies also show that 18,000 or 2.63% of Delaware's citizens reported needing but not receiving treatment for illicit drug and alcohol use in the past year. There were also studies that show 3.8% of high school males had used heroin at some point in their lives. Heroin is available primarily in northern Delaware, as distributors relocate from source cities (Philadelphia and New York) to Wilmington in order to escape the attention of law enforcement, attract new customers, and sell to existing customers from surrounding areas, including southeastern Pennsylvania and Maryland. Although Philadelphia is the primary source for heroin distributors and users in Delaware, reports indicate that larger quantities of heroin were also available and distributed in Wilmington.

The increasing availability of cheaper, higher purity heroin over the last few years has caused concern in Delaware over a growing heroin use problem that reaches all socioeconomic backgrounds. Heroin is popular among teens and young adults, who consume heroin either by itself or in combination with cocaine or alcohol, a combination that typically leads to overdose deaths. In Delaware, the perception of heroin remaining a problem only in the region's major metropolitan areas is no longer accurate.
