Did You Know? ...
Interesting Facts and Statistics:

When addiction is treated as the long-term relapsing condition that it really is, with long term inpatient drug rehab treatment, success rates have the potential to skyrocket.

Of the 8.0 million persons who had driven under the influence of illegal drugs in the past year, most (77 percent) had also driven under the influence of alcohol.

As in prior years, men were more likely to report current illegal drug use than women (8.7 vs. 5.5 percent) in 2001. However, rates of nonmedical psychotherapeutics use were similar for boys (2.2 percent) and girls (2.0 percent), consistent with previous findings for these drugs.

Based on 2004-2005 combined data, the five most often reported reasons for not receiving illegal drug or alcohol use treatment among persons who needed but did not receive treatment at a specialty facility and felt they needed treatment were (a) not ready to stop using (37.9 percent), (b) cost or insurance barriers (35.1 percent), (c) stigma (e.g., negative opinions from neighbors and community, negative effect on job) (23.9 percent), (d) did not know where to go for treatment (14.3 percent), and (e) other access barriers (e.g., no transportation, no openings in programs) (13.4 percent).

Studies show that fewer young people today see ?great risk? in using marijuana regularly.
