Among unemployed adults aged 18 or older in 2008, 19.6 percent were current illegal drug users, which was higher than the 8.0 percent of those employed full time and 10.2 percent of those employed part time.

Those individuals who have experienced many years of heavy drug addiction or alcoholism may have a more difficult time when it comes to ending their deeply rooted addiction patterns. Most of the difficulty will more than likely be due to the fact that their lifestyle has consisted of drug or alcohol use for so long that it may be difficult to even fathom living sober. This type of individual would greatly benefit from making a commitment to a long term residential drug addiction treatment program.

Dr. Steven Juergens of Virginia Mason University was the first person to write about Xanax, in relation to the premise of the drug being highly addictive.
