Interesting Facts and Statistics:

According to some of the latest research that was conducted by the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), nearly two million visits to emergency departments in the United States reportedly involved the use of some type of illegal drugs.

Among the 17.4 million people aged 12 or older who needed but did not receive treatment for an alcohol use problem in 2008, there were 651,000 (3.7 percent) who felt they needed treatment for their alcohol use problem. The number and the percentage were similar to those reported in 2007 (859,000 persons and 4.8 percent, respectively) and 2002 (761,000 persons and 4.5 percent, respectively). Of these, 512,000 (78.6 percent) did not make an effort to get treatment, and 139,000 (21.4 percent) made an effort but were unable to get treatment in 2008.

In the U.S.A the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act was passed in 1914 to control the sale and distribution of heroin and other opiates. The law did allow heroin to be prescribed and sold for medical purposes. In particular, recreational users could often still be legally supplied with heroin and use it. In 1924, the United States Congress passed additional legislation banning the sale, importation or manufacture of heroin in the United States. It is now a Schedule I substance, and is thus illegal in the United States.

In 2005, among young adults aged 18 to 25, the rate of binge drinking was 41.9 percent, and the rate of heavy drinking was 15.3 percent. These rates are similar to the rates in 2002, 2003, and 2004.

Physiological and psychotropic effects from nasally insufflated cocaine are sustained for approximately 40 - 60 minutes after the peak effects are attained.

Among pregnant women aged 15 to 44 years, 4.0 percent reported using illegal drugs in the past month based on combined 2005 and 2006 NSDUH data. This rate was significantly lower than the rate among women aged 15 to 44 who were not pregnant (10.0 percent). The 2003 2004 combined rate of current illegal drug use among pregnant women (4.6 percent) was not significantly different from the 2005 2006 combined rate.
