Short term recreational use of amphetamine can slip unnoticed into long term systematic abuse. Some speed addicts have had habits lasting over twenty years.

Female teens were more likely than male teens to report using outpatient specialty mental health services (13.6 vs. 9.3 percent), education services (13.0 vs. 10.5 percent), or general medical-based services (3.2 vs. 2.6 percent), but there was no significant gender difference in the use of inpatient specialty mental health services.

Psychotherapeutics include the nonmedical use of any prescription type pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, or sedatives. Over the counter substances are not included. In 2008, there were 2.5 million persons aged 12 or older who used psychotherapeutics nonmedically for the first time within the past year, which averages out to around 7,000 initiates per day. This annual estimate of the initiates of psychotherapeutics was significantly lower than the 2004 estimate (2.8 million). In 2008, the numbers of new users of specific classes of psychotherapeutics were 2.2 million for pain relievers, 1.1 million for tranquilizers, 599,000 for stimulants, and 181,000 for sedatives. There was a significant decrease in the number of past year initiates of stimulants from 2006 (845,000) to 2008 (599,000), but there were no significant changes in the estimates for the remaining psychotherapeutics between these years.
