Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Patients themselves can take many positive steps in order to ensure that they use prescription medications appropriately. They should always follow the prescribed directions, and be aware of the medication's potential interactions with other drugs. Patients should not ever change a dosing regimen without first discussing it with their doctor and an individual should never use another person's prescription.

Perceived risk is measured by NSDUH as the percentage reporting that there is great risk in the substance use behavior. Among teens aged 12 to 17, there were no changes in the perceived risk of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or LSD use between 2004 and 2005. However, between 2002 and 2005, there were increases in the perceived risk of smoking marijuana once a month (from 32.4 to 34.0 percent) and smoking marijuana once or twice a week (from 51.5 to 55.0 percent). On the other hand, the percentage of teens who perceived that trying heroin once or twice is a great risk declined from 58.5 percent in 2002 to 56.5 percent in 2005, and those who perceived that using cocaine once a month is a great risk declined from 50.5 to 48.8 percent.

Ecstasy is commonly associated with dance parties (or "raves") and electronic dance music.

Xanax and similar benzodiazepines enhance the action of brain receptors that inhibit central nervous system stimulation, which then inhibit the action of these receptors that stimulate the nervous system.

In some cases, withdrawal from opiates can be deadly, particularly for those individuals who are in poor health.

The patient that is treated with Methadone is freed from the compulsive and disruptive behavior that may often be seen in heroin addicts, but ultimately remains physically dependent on the opioid.
