Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The medical causes of drug abuse are not yet completely understood. Researchers can only report that the repeated use of addictive drugs can bring about dramatic changes in both the structure and the function of the brain; this process can then result in compulsive drug use.

The side effects of Xanax can range from drowsiness, fatigue, headache, and clumsiness to slurred speech, vision problems and various changes in an individual's behavior.

The effects of methadone last longer than any of the other morphine-based drugs. Methadone's effects can last up to 24 hours, thereby permitting administration of the drug only once a day in maintenance programs.

In 2006, probation status was associated with substance dependence or abuse. The rate of substance dependence or abuse was 39.7 percent among adults who were on probation during the past year, which was significantly higher than the rate among adults who were not on probation during the past year (8.7 percent).

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.

In 2006, the average age at first marijuana use among recent initiates aged 12 to 49 was 17.4 years, the same as the average in 2005. Among recent initiates aged 12 or older who initiated use prior to the age of 21, the mean ages at first use were 15.9 years in 2002, 15.9 years in 2003, 16.0 years in 2004, 16.0 years in 2005, and 16.1 years in 2006.
