Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The Police Chief in Pulaski, Virginia reported in October 2000 that approximately 90 percent of all thefts, burglaries, and shoplifting incidents in the area were linked to the OxyContin trade.

Psychotherapeutics include the nonmedical use of any prescription type pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, or sedatives. Over the counter substances are not included. In 2008, there were 2.5 million persons aged 12 or older who used psychotherapeutics nonmedically for the first time within the past year, which averages out to around 7,000 initiates per day. This annual estimate of the initiates of psychotherapeutics was significantly lower than the 2004 estimate (2.8 million). In 2008, the numbers of new users of specific classes of psychotherapeutics were 2.2 million for pain relievers, 1.1 million for tranquilizers, 599,000 for stimulants, and 181,000 for sedatives. There was a significant decrease in the number of past year initiates of stimulants from 2006 (845,000) to 2008 (599,000), but there were no significant changes in the estimates for the remaining psychotherapeutics between these years.

Users of methamphetamine have been known to exploit the rapid vaporization of the drug, by spreading the powdered drug on aluminum foil and heating it so they can inhale the fumes that are released.

Attending a drug rehab may be necessary when a person is severely addicted to drugs or alcohol and wants help to stop using. Most people attempt to stop taking drugs on their own and some succeed. Unfortunately, many severe drug abusers find that it is not as easy as they anticipated, achieving abstinence and they end up using again. You should of course attempt to stop on your own first and if that fails enrolling into a treatment program would be the next option.

Current illegal drug use remained stable from 2007 to 2008 among teens aged 12 to 17, young adults aged 18 to 25, and adults aged 26 or older. From 2002 to 2008, however, the rate of current illegal drug use among 12 to 17 year olds decreased from 11.6 to 9.3 percent.

There were 1,476 Federal offenders sentenced for heroin-related charges in U.S. Courts in 2008.
