Interesting Facts and Statistics:

In 2005, among adults aged 18 or older who first tried marijuana at age 14 or younger, 13.3 percent were classified with illegal drug dependence or abuse, higher than the 2.4 percent of adults who had first used marijuana at age 18 or older.

The very thought of not using may make some individuals panic stricken. They may have abused one prescription drug or another for such a long period of time that being intoxicated feels quite natural, or they may fear the discomfort of withdrawal.

Withdrawal symptoms associated with OxyContin include restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes, and involuntary leg movements.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory urged that physicians use great caution when prescribing Methadone as the drug can cause respiratory distress and dangerous changes in an individual's heart beat that cannot be felt by the patient.

The rate of current alcohol use was 63.0 percent for full time employed adults aged 18 or older in 2008, higher than the rate for unemployed adults (55.5 percent). However, the rate of heavy use for unemployed persons was 12.8 percent, which was higher than the rate of 8.8 percent for full time employed persons. There was no significant difference in binge alcohol use rates between full time employed adults (30.3 percent) and unemployed adults (33.4 percent).

There were 3.9 million persons aged 12 or older (1.6 percent of the population) who received some kind of treatment for a problem related to the use of alcohol or illegal drugs in 2005. More than half (2.1 million) received treatment at a self-help group. There were 1.5 million persons who received treatment at a rehabilitation facility as an outpatient, 1.1 million at a rehabilitation facility as an inpatient, 1.0 million at a mental health center as an outpatient, 773,000 at a hospital as an inpatient, 460,000 at a private doctor's office, 399,000 at an emergency room, and 344,000 at a prison or jail. None of these estimates changed significantly between 2004 and 2005.
