Did You Know? ...
Interesting Facts and Statistics:
Chronic use of OxyContin can result in tolerance for the drugs, leading the user to take higher doses to achieve the same initial effects.
Any person that has been using methadone regularly will experience withdrawal once they stop taking the drug. The physical changes caused by methadone are similar to other opiates and may include a suppressed cough reflex, drowsiness, and constipation.
With very large doses, an opiate user cannot be awakened, pupils become smaller, and the skin becomes cold, moist, and bluish in color. Breathing slows down and death may occur.
Hallucinogens were used in the past month by 1.0 million persons (0.4 percent) in 2006, including 528,000 (0.2 percent) who had used Ecstasy. These estimates are similar to the corresponding estimates for 2005. However, lifetime use of Ecstasy increased from 10.2 million persons in 2002 to 12.3 million in 2006 (4.3 to 5.0 percent of persons aged 12 or older), but past year use of Ecstasy decreased from 3.2 million (1.3 percent) to 2.1 million (0.9 percent) over the same period.
Adults who first used drugs at a younger age are more likely to be classified with dependence on or abuse of drugs than adults who initiated use at a later age. Among those who first tried marijuana at age 14 or younger, 11.8 percent were classified with dependence on or abuse of an illegal drug in the past year compared with only 2.1 percent of adults who had first used marijuana at age 18 or older. This pattern of higher rates of dependence or abuse among persons initiating their use of marijuana at younger ages was observed by demographic subgroups, as well as separately for rates of dependence and rates of abuse. A similar pattern was observed for age at first use of alcohol and dependence on or abuse of alcohol among adults.
The percentage of the population aged 12 or older receiving substance use treatment within the past year remained stable between 2007 and 2008 and between 2002 and 2008 (1.6 percent in 2008, 1.6 percent in 2007, and 1.5 percent in 2002). Although the number of persons receiving substance use treatment within the past year remained stable between 2007 and 2008, the number increased between 2002 (3.5 million) and 2008 (4.0 million).
