Interesting Facts and Statistics:

This section addresses the need for and receipt of treatment for an illegal drug problem. It includes estimates of the drug abuse "treatment gap," which is defined as those persons who needed treatment for an illegal drug problem in the past year but did not receive treatment. An individual is defined as needing treatment if he or she is dependent on or has abused an illegal drug or received treatment for an illegal drug problem at a "specialty" substance abuse facility in the past 12 months. "Specialty" substance abuse facilities include drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities (inpatient or outpatient), hospitals (inpatient only), and mental health centers.

Drug addiction can be described as a pattern of repetitive drug use that eventually results in tolerance (the need for larger doses of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects that occur when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug using behavior (using drug despite serious efforts that have been put forth in order to reduce intake and despite negative consequence).

Meth labs are the most frequently encountered clandestine laboratories in this country.

As with abusers of any addictive drug, heroin abusers gradually spend more and more time and energy obtaining and using the drug. Once they are addicted, the heroin abusers' primary purpose in life becomes seeking and using drugs. The drugs literally change their brains and their behavior.

In 2006, 9.8 percent of teens aged 12 to 17 were current illegal drug users: 6.7 percent used marijuana, 3.3 percent engaged in nonmedical use of prescription type drugs, 1.3 percent used inhalants, 0.7 percent used hallucinogens, and 0.4 percent used cocaine.

Although Methadone was originally developed as a pain killer, but now its primary use is the sedation, maintenance, and detoxification of narcotic addicts.
