Interesting Facts and Statistics:

According to a survey conducted by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, almost 5 million people are currently taking Xanax or a similar type of benzodiazepine.

In 2005, 59.8 percent of teens aged 12 to 17 reported that they had talked at least once in the past year with at least one of their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol use?similar to the 60.3 percent in 2004. Among teens who reported having had such conversations with their parents, rates of current alcohol, cigarette, and illegal drug use were lower than among teens who did not talk about substance abuse. For example, past month binge drinking was reported by 9.2 percent of teens who had talked with their parents about drug, tobacco, or alcohol use compared with 11.0 percent of those who had not. Past month use of marijuana was lower among teens who had talked with their parents (6.4 percent) than among those who had not (7.4 percent).

Among teens aged 12 to 17, the types of drugs used in the past month varied by age group. Among 12 or 13 year olds, 1.5 percent used prescription-type drugs nonmedically, 1.2 percent used inhalants, and 1.0 percent used marijuana. Among 14 or 15 year olds, marijuana was the most commonly used drug (5.7 percent), followed by prescription-type drugs used nonmedically (3.0 percent), inhalants (1.3 percent), and hallucinogens (1.0 percent). Marijuana also was the most commonly used drug among 16 or 17 year olds (12.7 percent); it was followed by prescription-type drugs used nonmedically (4.0 percent), hallucinogens (1.6 percent), cocaine (0.7 percent), and inhalants (0.7 percent).

There was a significant decrease in current use of crack among persons aged 18 to 22 who were not full time college students, from 0.6 percent in 2005 to 0.2 percent in 2006. The rate was unchanged among full time college students (0.1 percent in both 2005 and 2006).

Perhaps one of the most important facts about drug abuse is that repeated and continual involvement will almost always results in a transition to drug dependency. Drug abuse and addiction disrupts a person's relationships and daily functioning at work, home, or school.

Animal studies that were designed to simulate human patterns in regard to inhalant abuse have suggested that "huffing" has been shown to cause low birth weights, skeletal abnormalities in newborns and delayed neurological development.
