Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Use of illegal drugs and alcohol was more common among current cigarette smokers than among nonsmokers in 2006, as in 2002 through 2005. Among persons aged 12 or older, 20.4 percent of past month cigarette smokers reported current use of an illegal drug compared with 4.2 percent of persons who were not current cigarette smokers. Past month alcohol use was reported by 66.3 percent of current cigarette smokers compared with 45.8 percent of those who did not use cigarettes in the past month. The association also was found with binge drinking (43.6 percent of current cigarette users vs. 16.1 percent of current nonusers) and heavy drinking (16.0 vs. 3.8 percent, respectively).

Fortunately, drug addiction is a learned behavior; drug addiction recovery is unlearning addiction so that being sober instead becomes habitual. Drug and alcohol addiction recovery is a multi-step process, which mean that getting stable as well as staying stable are both equally important in one?s life long after treatment.

For over a thousand years South American indigenous peoples have chewed the coca leaf (Erythroxylon coca), a plant that contains vital nutrients as well as numerous alkaloids, including cocaine.

In 2006, teens aged 12 to 17 who had MDE during the past year were more likely to report daily cigarette use in comparison with those who did not have MDE during the past year (5.2 vs. 2.5 percent). Similarly, teens who had past year MDE were more likely to report heavy use of alcohol than those who did not have MDE (4.5 vs. 2.2 percent).

The prevalence of SPD among women aged 18 or older (13.7 percent) was significantly higher than that among men in that age group (8.7 percent).

In 2006, among the 4.0 million persons aged 12 or older who received treatment for alcohol or illegal drug use in the past year, 2.2 million persons received treatment at a self-help group, and 1.6 million received treatment at a rehabilitation facility as an outpatient. There were 1.1 million persons who received treatment at a mental health center as an outpatient, 934,000 persons who received treatment at a rehabilitation facility as an inpatient, 816,000 at a hospital as an inpatient, 610,000 at a private doctor's office, 420,000 at a prison or jail, and 397,000 at an emergency room. None of these estimates changed significantly between 2005 and 2006.
