Interesting Facts and Statistics:

OxyContin is considered to have a high abuse potential and is prescribed for moderate to high pain relief associated with injuries, dislocation, fractures, neuralgia, arthritis, and lower back and cancer pain.

As cocaine passes through many hands from the importer to the user, it is usually diluted ("cut" or "stepped on") at each stage of distribution to increase each dealer's profit. The final product can be from 1% to 95% pure.

The rate of heavy alcohol use (drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion [i.e., at the same time or within a couple of hours of each other] on each of 5 or more days in the past 30 days) among adults with SPD in the past year was higher (9.4 percent) than the rate reported among adults without SPD in the past year (6.8 percent). Similarly, among adults with SPD, the rate of binge alcohol use (drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past 30 days) was 28.9 percent, higher than the 23.5 percent among adults who did not meet the criteria for SPD.

Among the 5.2 million adults with both SPD and substance dependence or abuse (i.e., a substance use disorder) in 2005, about half (47.0 percent) received mental health treatment or substance use treatment at a specialty facility: 8.5 percent received both treatment for mental health problems and specialty substance use treatment, 34.3 percent received only treatment for mental health problems, and 4.1 percent received only specialty substance use treatment.

After dropping from 34.9 percent in 2006 to 31.8 percent in 2007, the rate of current cigarette smoking among female young adults aged 18 to 25 held steady at 31.8 percent in 2008. Between 2002 and 2008, the rate of cigarette use among young adults declined for both boys (from 44.4 to 39.5 percent) and girls (from 37.1 to 31.8 percent).

Since OxyContin was first introduced in 1995, there has been a dramatic increase in abuse of this narcotic.
