Interesting Facts and Statistics:
Young adults aged 18 to 22 enrolled full time in college were more likely than their peers not enrolled full time (i.e., part time college students and persons not currently enrolled in college) to use alcohol in the past month, binge drink, and drink heavily. Past month alcohol use was reported by 66.4 percent of full time college students compared with 54.1 percent of persons aged 18 to 22 who were not enrolled full time. Binge and heavy use rates for college students were 45.5 and 19.0 percent, respectively, compared with 38.4 and 13.3 percent, respectively, for 18 to 22 year olds not enrolled full time in college.
Rates of current alcohol use were 63.2 percent for full-time employed adults aged 18 or older in 2005, higher than the rate for unemployed adults (56.5 percent). However, the pattern was different for heavy alcohol use; the rate of heavy alcohol use was higher for unemployed persons (10.4 percent) than for full-time employed persons (8.4 percent). There was no significant difference in the rates of binge alcohol use between unemployed adults and adults employed full time.
The effects of bath salts ? used inappropriately despite their warning labels ? when smoked or taken orally are reported to have effects that are very similar to cocaine or meth.
In 2005, more than half of the 2.3 million persons aged 12 or older who received specialty substance use treatment in the past year also received treatment at a self-help group (1.4 million persons). In addition, among those who received specialty substance use treatment, 361,000 persons received treatment at an emergency room, 254,000 received treatment at a private doctor's office, and 229,000 received treatment at a prison or jail.
In 2008, 23.1 million persons aged 12 or older needed treatment for an illegal drug or alcohol use problem (9.2 percent of the persons aged 12 or older). Of these, 2.3 million (0.9 percent of persons aged 12 or older and 9.9 percent of those who needed treatment) received treatment at a specialty facility. Thus, 20.8 million persons (8.3 percent of the population aged 12 or older) needed treatment for an illegal drug or alcohol use problem but did not receive treatment at a specialty substance abuse facility in the past year. These estimates are similar to the estimates for 2007 and for 2002.
Normal sedatives that are regularly given by hospitals to control individuals that are under the influence of amphetamines do not work in counteracting bath salts.
