Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Today, it is common practice to require methadone addicts to collect their prescription from a clinic daily - and to swallow this drug while under observation. This practice had to be implemented to prevent the methadone from entering the illegal market.

Attending a drug abuse treatment program supports the recovering addict in the process of making lifestyle changes, managing feelings and helps them to develop coping tools and drug refusal skills. In addition, an individual in drug rehab treatment can learn to identify relapse warning signs and challenge the thought pattern that may lead to a relapse.

In 2005, the average age at first marijuana use among recent initiates aged 12 to 49 was 17.4 years. This average increased from 17.0 years in 2002, 16.8 years in 2003, and 17.1 years in 2004, although only the difference between the 2005 and 2003 mean ages was significant. Excluding initiation at age 21 or older, the mean ages of initiation were 15.9 years in 2002, 15.9 years in 2003, 16.0 years in 2004, and 16.0 years in 2005.

The pain-relieving effects of Methadone are much shorter than the pharmacological half-life, so that dosing for pain control usually requires multiple methadone doses per day.

The rate of past month tobacco use among teens aged 12 to 17 decreased from 12.4 percent in 2007 to 11.4 percent in 2008. This decrease was driven by a decline in the rate of past month cigarette use that was statistically significant (9.8 to 9.1 percent) and a decline in past month cigar use that was not statistically significant (4.2 to 3.8 percent). The rate of past month cigarette use among 12 to 17 year olds declined from 13.0 percent in 2002 to 9.1 percent in 2008. One-half million or 2.2 percent of teens aged 12 to 17 used smokeless tobacco in 2008 compared with 2.0 percent in 2002; this slight increase was not statistically significant.

The rate of current marijuana use among teens aged 12 to 17 decreased from 8.2 percent in 2002 to 6.7 percent in 2006 and remained at that level in 2007 and 2008. Significant declines also occurred between 2002 and 2008 for past year marijuana use (from 15.8 to 13.0 percent) and lifetime marijuana use (from 20.6 to 16.5 percent).
