Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Among full time college students aged 18 to 22, there were increases from 2007 to 2008 in the current rate of use of hallucinogens (from 1.0 to 2.1 percent). Increases were seen for the specific hallucinogens Ecstasy (from 0.5 to 1.2 percent) and LSD (from 0.3 to 0.6 percent). There were no significant changes in the rates of current use for any drugs among persons aged 18 to 22 who were not full time college students.

Residential substance abuse treatment offers a safe, drug free environment where individuals can confront their addiction and associated issues, with the help of the qualified staff at a drug rehab center.

In 2005, there were 11.2 million adults aged 18 or older (5.1 percent) who reported an unmet need for treatment or counseling for mental health problems in the past year.

Among the 5.5 million adults who did receive treatment or counseling for a mental health problem in the past year, 19.4 percent reported an unmet need.
