Did You Know? ...
Interesting Facts and Statistics:

In most cases, a person whose only crime is marijuana possession does not go to prison.

Intervention specialists must apply a sufficient amount of careful planning in order to host an effective drug intervention. The intervention process has long proven to be a key component in helping an individual with a substance abuse problem to go from the downward spiral of a drug addiction to the successful road of recovery .Keep in mind that no matter what takes place on the day of the intervention, it will serve the purpose of getting the person's attention. If the person refuses to get immediate help, they will still benefit from the intervention in some way; usually the individual will accept some form of professional help later: later that same day, the next day, the next week, or the next month or two.

In 2005, the number of persons aged 12 or older needing treatment for an alcohol use problem was 19.4 million (8.0 percent of the population aged 12 or older). Of these, 1.6 million (0.7 percent of the total population and 8.4 percent of the people who needed treatment for an alcohol use problem) received alcohol use treatment at a specialty facility. Thus, there were 17.8 million people who needed treatment but did not receive treatment at a specialty facility for an alcohol use problem.

In 2005, among adults with SPD in the past year who did not receive treatment and reported an unmet need for treatment, cost or insurance issues were the most frequently reported reason for not obtaining treatment (53.5 percent). Other reasons for not receiving treatment included not feeling a need for treatment at the time or believing that the problem could be handled without treatment (32.3 percent), stigma associated with treatment (26.2 percent), not knowing where to go for services (21.8 percent), and not having time (16.6 percent).

In the college-aged population (persons aged 18 to 22 years old), the rate of current use of illegal drugs was lower among full-time college students (19.2 percent) than among other persons aged 18 to 22 years, which includes part-time college students, students in other grades, and nonstudents (22.6 percent). Current illegal drug use among college students and other 18 to 22 year olds did not change between 2005 and 2006.

There were 32,980 Federal arrests for drug law violations, 1,881 of which were for heroin in 2004.
