Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Ecstasy is one of the most widely used recreational drugs in the world and is taken in a variety of settings.

In 2008, an estimated 20.1 million Americans aged 12 or older were current (past month) illegal drug users, meaning they had used an illegal drug during the month prior to the survey interview. This estimate represents 8.0 percent of the population aged 12 or older.

In 2005, the number of persons aged 12 or older needing treatment for an illegal drug or alcohol use problem was 23.2 million (9.5 percent of the population aged 12 or older). Of these, 2.3 million (0.9 percent of persons aged 12 or older and 10.0 percent of those who needed treatment) received treatment at a specialty facility. Thus, there were 20.9 million persons (8.6 percent of the population aged 12 or older) who needed treatment for an illegal drug or alcohol use problem but did not receive treatment at a specialty substance abuse facility in the past year.

Among teens aged 12 to 17, the rate of current illegal drug use was similar for boys (10.1 percent) and girls (9.7 percent). While boys aged 12 to 17 had a higher rate of marijuana use than girls (7.5 vs. 6.2 percent), the rate for nonmedical use of prescription-type psychotherapeutics was similar for boys and girls (3.1 and 3.6 percent, respectively).

Recent peaks in opiate use were observed in 1996, 1997 and 2000 for those in grades eight, 10 and 12.

When addicted individuals stop using cocaine, they often become depressed. This also may lead to further cocaine use to alleviate depression.
