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

Ecstasy users may take combinations of drugs, including alcohol, which may further increase the negative effects of the drug or even death.

Substance abuse can be defined as the excessive and repeated use of a drug in order to feel pleasure, avoid problems, and escape reality despite the damaging and at times fatal consequences.

Studies of the brain show that Ecstasy affects serotonin, a system which plays a direct role in controlling our mood, aggression, sexual activity, sleep, and sensitivity to pain.

As of 2008 the average age of someone trying heroin for the first time was 23.4 years.

In 2006, rates of current alcohol use were 3.9 percent among persons aged 12 or 13, 15.6 percent of persons aged 14 or 15, 29.7 percent of 16 or 17 year olds, 51.6 percent of those aged 18 to 20, and 68.6 percent of 21 to 25 year olds (Figure 3.1). Among older age groups, the prevalence of alcohol use decreased with increasing age, from 63.5 percent among 26 to 29 year olds to 48.0 percent among 60 to 64 year olds and 38.4 percent among people aged 65 or older.

Health care providers should make note of any increases in the amount of a medication needed - which may indicate the development of tolerance - or when a patient begins to make frequent requests for refills before the quantity prescribed should have been used.
