Interesting Facts and Statistics:

A person who develops a Methadone addiction feels that they can't function the day without the substance, which is one of the primary hallmarks of any drug dependence.

Across geographic regions in 2008, underage current alcohol use rates were higher in the Northeast (30.0 percent) than in the Midwest (27.1 percent), and both rates were higher than in the South (24.7 percent). The rate in the West (25.8 percent) was similar to rates in the South and Midwest regions, but was significantly lower than the rate in the Northeast.

The annual number of new daily smokers aged 12 to 17 decreased from 1.1 million in 1997 to 747,000 in 2000. This translates into a reduction from 3,000 per day to 2,000 per day in the number of teens who begin smoking on a daily basis.

Rates and patterns of drug use show substantial variation by age. For example, 3.8 percent of teens aged 12 or 13 reported current illegal drug use in 2001. As in other years, illegal drug use in 2001 tended to increase with age among young persons. It peaked among 18 to 20 year olds (22.4 percent) and declined steadily after that point with increasing age.

National parks and other public lands in the United States are used for marijuana cultivation sites, primarily by Mexican criminal groups.

Methamphetamine abuse can cause permanent damage to cells in the brain due to injuring the small blood vessels that serve the brain.
