Interesting Facts and Statistics:

In 2008, an estimated 22.2 million persons (8.9 percent of the population aged 12 or older) were classified with substance dependence or abuse in the past year based on criteria specified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV). Of these, 3.1 million were classified with dependence on or abuse of both alcohol and illegal drugs, 3.9 million were dependent on or abused illegal drugs but not alcohol, and 15.2 million were dependent on or abused alcohol but not illegal drugs.

Between 2004 and 2005, there was a decrease in the number and percentage of teens aged 12 to 17 who needed treatment for an alcohol or illegal drug use problem: 2.3 million in 2004 (9.1 percent) compared with 2.1 million in 2005 (8.3 percent).

OxyContin is an opiate agonist. Opiate agonists provide pain relief by acting on opioid receptors in the spinal cord, brain, and possibly in the tissues directly.

Rates of substance dependence or abuse were associated with level of education in 2006. Among adults aged 18 or older, those who graduated from a college or university had a lower rate of dependence or abuse (7.3 percent) than those who graduated from high school (9.4 percent), those who did not graduate from high school (10.3 percent), and those with some college (10.8 percent).

In 81.7 percent of the instances in 2007-2008 where nonmedical users of prescription pain relievers aged 12 or older obtained the drugs from a friend or relative for free, the individuals indicated that their friend or relative had obtained the drugs from just one doctor. Only 1.6 percent reported that the friend or relative had bought the drugs from a drug dealer or other stranger.

Past year use of Ecstasy among young adults declined from 5.8 percent in 2002 to 3.7 percent in 2003 and to 3.1 percent in both 2004 and 2005.
