Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Among pregnant women aged 15 to 44 years, 5.1 percent used illegal drugs in the past month based on data averaged for 2007 and 2008. This rate was significantly lower than the rate among women in this age group who were not pregnant (9.8 percent). Among pregnant women, the average rate of current illegal drug use in 2007 2008 (5.1 percent) did not change significantly from 2005 2006 (4.0 percent) and was similar to the rate observed in 2003 2004 (4.6 percent).

It is important for all medical clinicians to recognize that they share a major responsibility to ensure that prescriptions for opioids and other medications that are known to be abused are prescribed only for appropriate indications, that patients are closely monitored, and both patients and their families completely understand the risks associated with the prescription drugs that they are sent home with.

From 2002 to 2007, there was an increase among young adults aged 18 to 25 in the rate of current use of prescription pain relievers, from 4.1 to 4.6 percent. There were decreases in the use of hallucinogens (from 1.9 to 1.5 percent), Ecstasy (from 1.1 to 0.7 percent), and methamphetamine (from 0.6 to 0.4 percent).

According to recent pharmaceutical studies, on average narcotic medications such as Vicodin were used on average for thirty six months; when an individual takes a drug for such a long period of time, the likelihood of becoming addicted increases dramatically.

Methadone addiction is one of the most serious risks of using this drug. Millions of unsuspecting individuals have fallen prey to the illusion that taking Methadone would somehow handle their opiate addiction and then that they could simply just stop taking it.

In a recent Canadian study, violence (either accidental, self -inflicted, or perpetrated by others) was the leading cause of amphetamine-related deaths.
