Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Methadone maintenance programs are not the great cure for opiate addiction, as they so often claim; the replacement drug simply maintain a patient's addicted status, doing so under the acceptable terms of society.

Since passage of the 2006 Patriot Act which controls public access to pseudoephedrine, limits quantities, and requires identification to purchase the medicine, the number of homemade meth labs has been reduced significantly. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) estimates that 75% of all methamphetamine available in the U.S. today is produced in "super labs" operated by Mexican drug trafficking organizations.

Alcohol consumption levels also were associated with tobacco use. Among heavy alcohol users aged 12 or older, 58.0 percent smoked cigarettes in the past month, while only 19.2 percent of non binge current drinkers and 16.1 percent of persons who did not drink alcohol in the past month were current smokers. Smokeless tobacco use and cigar use also were more prevalent among heavy drinkers (12.5 and 17.8 percent, respectively) than among non binge drinkers (2.2 and 4.6 percent) and nondrinkers (2.1 and 2.0 percent).

OxyContin is a Schedule 11 controlled drug used in the treatment of severe pain disorders.

Between 2002 and 2007, there was no change in the number of persons with substance dependence or abuse (22.0 million in 2002, 22.3 million in 2007).

In 2006, adults aged 18 or older with MDE in the past year were more likely than those without MDE to have used an illegal drug in the past year (27.7 vs. 12.9 percent). A similar pattern was observed for specific types of past year illegal drug use, such as marijuana, cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, and the nonmedical use of prescription-type psychotherapeutics.
