Interesting Facts and Statistics:

In 2006, 57.0 percent of boys aged 12 or older were current drinkers, higher than the rate for girls (45.2 percent). However, among teens aged 12 to 17, the percentage of boys who were current drinkers (16.3 percent) was similar to the rate for girls (17.0 percent).

In 2006, about half (50.1 percent) of the teens aged 12 to 17 reported that it would be "fairly easy" or "very easy" for them to obtain marijuana if they wanted some. Around one quarter reported it would be easy to get cocaine (25.9 percent). One in seven (14.0 percent) indicated that LSD would be "fairly" or "very" easily available, and 14.4 percent reported so for heroin. Between 2002 and 2006, the perceived availability of substances decreased among teens aged 12 to 17 for marijuana (from 55.0 to 50.1 percent), LSD (from 19.4 to 14.0 percent), and heroin (from 15.8 to 14.4 percent).

Illegal drugs other than marijuana include cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, and the nonmedical use of prescription-type pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives. A number of States (six) that fell into the top fifth for past month use of an illegal drug among those aged 12 or older also were ranked in the top fifth for current use of an illegal drug other than marijuana: Alaska, District of Columbia, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington. The other States in the top fifth (Arizona, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Oklahoma) reported rates of current use of an illegal drug that were lower and rates of past month marijuana use that fell into the middle or next-to-lowest fifth.

One of the most important things that should be addressed in drug treatment is how the addict can begin to repair past damage they may have caused others, in addition to planning a strategy for their futures.

The specific drug categories with the largest number of recent initiates among persons aged 12 or older were nonmedical use of pain relievers (2.2 million) and marijuana use (2.1 million), followed by nonmedical use of tranquilizers (1.3 million), then by use of inhalants (0.9 million) and cocaine (0.9 million).

People recover every single day from prescription drug addiction because they receive the right type of rehabilitation treatment. In most instances of prescription drug addiction, the more treatment that is administered in order to conquer the substance abuse problem, the more successful that their results will be. Research has consistently shown that those individuals, who stay in a prescription drug rehab longer than 3 months, will have much better outcomes than those who stay in treatment for a shorter amount of time.
