Interesting Facts and Statistics:

People who suffer from chronic pain are often in a very precarious position. Painkillers do relieve pain, and for people who suffer from constant and chronic pain, narcotics may be necessary to allow them to have any type of quality of life. The downside is becoming physically dependent and risking the possibility of developing a full blown drug addiction.

Drinking levels also were associated with tobacco use. Among heavy alcohol users, 61.1 percent smoked cigarettes in the past month, while only 20.6 percent of non-binge current drinkers and 17.8 percent of nondrinkers were current smokers. Smokeless tobacco and cigar use also were more prevalent among heavy drinkers than among non-binge drinkers and nondrinkers.

Treatment admissions for addiction to Meth doubled in the U.S. between 2000 and 2005.

Methadone can be made available either as a ready-to-drink solution or as a concentrate, which must be mixed first with water or fruit juice. Methadone is also available as a liquid that can be administered via injection.

Ecstasy can interfere with its own metabolism (breakdown within the body); therefore, potentially harmful levels can be reached by repeated ecstasy administration within short periods of time.

Past month and binge drinking rates among underage persons (aged 12 to 20) have remained essentially unchanged since 2002. In 2007, about 10.7 million persons aged 12 to 20 (27.9 percent of this age group) reported drinking alcohol in the past month. Approximately 7.2 million (18.6 percent) were binge drinkers, and 2.3 million (6.0 percent) were heavy drinkers.
