Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The withdrawal symptoms that are most commonly associated with morphine addiction are usually experienced shortly before the time of the next scheduled dose, sometimes within as early as a few hours after the last administration.

When Ambien is mixed with other chemical substances, like alcohol, there is an intensified effect that enhances the side effects of this powerful prescription sleep aid.

After withdrawing from opiates, symptoms such as sleeplessness and drug craving can last for months.

Because individuals addicted to opiates are likely to reach a point where they are no longer capable of holding down a job, they are also likely to lose any health insurance coverage. The diseases or conditions that develop in someone addicted to opiates as a result of their drug use are often paid for through public funds because the addicts cannot pay for their own treatment.

Because heroin abusers do not know the actual strength of the drug or its true contents, they are at a great risk of overdose or death.

There was no significant change between 2005 and 2006 in the number of past year initiates of LSD.
