Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Much research that has been conducted regarding substance abuse has indicated that long-term drug addiction causes significant changes in brain function that persist long after the individual stops using drugs.

State estimates for 2002 for persons aged 12 or older ranged from 6.3 percent in Alabama to 10.2 percent in Nebraska. States in the highest fifth tended to be mostly Western (Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming) or Midwestern (Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota). Five States in the lowest fifth were in the South (Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and West Virginia).

If used intravenously or inhaled/smoked, cocaine?s effects peak in seconds to 2 minutes but last only 15-30 minutes.

Amphetamine products often contain substances that do not easily dissolve in water. When users inject amphetamines, these particles can pass into the body and block small blood vessels or weaken the blood vessel walls. Kidney damage, lung problems, strokes, or other tissue injury may result.

The number of current users of Ecstasy had decreased between 2002 and 2003, from 676,000 to 470,000, but the number did not change between 2003 and 2004 (450,000).
