Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The use of methamphetamine can produce chronic hallucinations that can alter the user's perception and create an environment of paranoia.

Long-term opiate use can cause nerve cells to grow so used to having opiates around, that when they are taken away suddenly, the person can experience a wide range of symptoms in the brain and body. These are known as withdrawal symptoms.

Animal research indicates that, like cocaine and other abused drugs, opiates can also activate the brain's reward system.

Methamphetamine users have been known to indulge in "binge" injecting, in which they inject large amounts of the drug ever couple of hours until they run out of it or become too disorganized to continue using.

For the large majority of drug users, physical detoxification and rehab treatment in a sober, supportive environment allows them to finally enter into long term recovery and embark upon a lifetime of sobriety.

With inhalant abuse, gender differences have been consistently identified at different point throughout childhood.
