Interesting Facts and Statistics:

According to the most recent studies that were conducted by the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), fourteen of the top twenty most abused controlled substances in the United States, are reported to be prescription drugs. Benzodiazepines, such as Xanax rank highest on the list, and are closely followed by the opiates or painkillers.

Heroin currently falls into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act based on its potential for abuse and its lack of accepted medical use.

Once a drug or alcohol addiction has developed, many individuals find themselves unable to cease using the drug of choice without enrollment into a residential addiction recovery program to receive the treatment that they both need and deserve.

Small clandestine labs use any of hundred of different recipes to manufacture meth. Because the recipe using anhydrous ammonia was developed by the Germans during WWII, it is called the "Nazi" method of meth production.

Methadone does not get into the bones; this myth likely comes from the debilitating bone and joint pain that is often experienced during opioid withdrawal.

Today, benzodiazapines account for twenty percent of the total number of prescriptions that are written for controlled substance in the United States.
