Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Three quarters of all heroin brought into the United States comes from South America and Mexico (with South America making up the majority of this amount)

The national rate for past year dependence on or abuse of alcohol or illegal drugs among persons aged 12 or older was about 9.4 percent (Table A.17). When examining dependence on or abuse of alcohol or illegal drugs at the State level, the States with high rates for alcohol dependence or abuse tended to dominate the top fifth for alcohol and illegal drug dependence or abuse combined because alcohol accounts for the vast majority of substance dependence or abuse.

Common slang terms for opiates are Smack Horse, Brown sugar Junk, Black Tar Dope, School boy White stuff, Harry Cube, Mud Big H, and Skag Morf.

Persons dependent on or abusing a substance in the past 12 months, or who received specialty treatment for a substance use problem within the past 12 months, are classified as needing treatment. In 2004, the number of persons aged 12 or older needing treatment for an alcohol or illegal drug use problem was 23.48 million (9.8 percent). Of these, 2.33 million received treatment at a specialty facility in the past year. Thus, 21.15 million people needed but did not receive treatment at a specialty facility in 2004. The number needing but not receiving treatment did not change significantly from 2002 to 2004.

Methadone was first marketed during World War II under the brand name Dolophine and was used as an analgesic for the treatment of severe pain. Methadone is currently being used and by doctors for pain relief in patients who do not have insurance, as it is much cheaper than any other prescription pain pill on the market today.

Ecstasy can have many of the same physical effects as other stimulants, such as cocaine and amphetamines including increases in heart rate and blood pressure.
