Did You Know? ...
Interesting Facts and Statistics:

States in the Northeast (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) and the West (Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington) had the lowest rates of perceived great risk of using marijuana occasionally (once a month) among persons aged 12 or older. Only about 27 percent of all persons aged 12 or older in Washington thought that occasional use was a great risk (Table B.4). Eight of the States having the lowest perceived risks also had rates in the highest fifth for past month marijuana use for persons aged 12 or older. Similarly, of the 10 States indicating the highest perceived risk of occasional marijuana use among persons aged 12 or older, five had past month marijuana use rates that were in the lowest fifth (Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Mississippi, and Texas).

While in drug rehab treatment, individuals will learn about addiction, recovery and relapse while addressing misguided beliefs about self, others and their environment. Attending a drug addiction treatment program will help the recovering drug addict to make healthy lifestyle changes, manage their feelings and develop coping tools and drug refusal skills. In addition, they will be able to learn to identify relapse warning signs and challenge thoughts that may lead to relapse.

The rate of binge alcohol use was lowest among Asians (11.8 percent). Rates for other racial/ethnic groups were 19.1 percent for blacks, 22.8 percent for persons reporting two or more races, 23.9 percent for Hispanics, 24.1 percent for whites, 24.1 percent for Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders, and 31.0 percent for American Indians or Alaska Natives.

From the 1960s onward, amphetamine has been popular with many youth subcultures in Britain and other parts of the world as a recreational drug.

The national prevalence rate for the use of cocaine in the past year among all persons aged 12 or older was 2.5 percent. Because cocaine is one of the substances included in the "any illegal drug other than marijuana" category, it is useful to compare the rankings of States with respect to these two substance measures. In 2002.2003, only five of the States ranked in the highest fifth for past month use of an illegal drug other than marijuana (aged 12 or older) also had past year rates of cocaine use (aged 12 or older) that were in the highest fifth. Colorado had the highest rate of past year cocaine use (3.9 percent) among persons aged 12 or older; the District of Columbia had the highest rate (3.7 percent) among those aged 26 or older; Rhode Island had the highest rate (12.1 percent) among those aged 18 to 25; and Arizona had the highest rate (3.2 percent) among teens aged 12 to 17. Arizona and Colorado were the only States that ranked in the top fifth for all three age groups (12 to 17, 18 to 25, and 26 or older).

In 2006, 57.0 percent of boys aged 12 or older were current drinkers, higher than the rate for girls (45.2 percent). However, among teens aged 12 to 17, the percentage of boys who were current drinkers (16.3 percent) was similar to the rate for girls (17.0 percent).
