Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The number of persons with substance dependence or abuse increased from 14.5 million (6.5 percent of the population) in 2000 to 16.6 million (7.3 percent) in 2001.

Of the 2.3 million people aged 12 or older who received specialty substance use treatment in 2008, 983,000 received treatment for alcohol use only, 632,000 received treatment for illegal drug use only, and 577,000 received treatment for both alcohol and illegal drug use. These estimates are similar to the estimates for 2007 and for 2002.

The reason that people that are addicted to Vicodin keep coming back for more of the drug even though they may no longer need it for physical pain is to experience the initial euphoria that they felt the first time that took it.

As a result of the U.S. Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005, a subsection of the PATRIOT Act, there are restrictions on the amount of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine that can be used to make meth one may purchase in a specified time period, and further requirements that these products must be stored in order to prevent theft.

Cocaine is the second most commonly used illegal drug in the U.S.

Meth manufacture creates toxic fumes and hazardous waste by-products that can poison water, pollute lakes, permeate walls and flooring and cause fires and explosions.
