Interesting Facts and Statistics:
Of the 20.8 million people in 2008 who were classified as needing substance use treatment but did not receive treatment at a specialty facility in the past year, 1.0 million persons (4.8 percent) reported that they felt they needed treatment for their illegal drug or alcohol use problem. Of these 1.0 million persons who felt they needed treatment, 233,000 (23.3 percent) reported that they made an effort to get treatment, and 766,000 (76.7 percent) reported making no effort to get treatment.
In 1965, there were an estimated 0.6 million new users of marijuana. The annual number of marijuana initiates increased until reaching a peak in 1976 and 1977 (2 years before the past month prevalence rate among teens peaked in 1979) at around 3.2 million new users per year. After that, the number of initiates declined to 1.4 million in 1990 (2 years before the youth past month prevalence rate reached a low point in 1992). Between 1990 and 1996, the estimated annual number of new marijuana users increased steadily from 1.4 million to 2.5 million and has remained at this plateau since. An estimated 2.4 million Americans used marijuana for the first time in 2000.
