Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The level of alcohol use was associated with illegal drug use in 2005. Among the 16.0 million heavy drinkers aged 12 or older, 32.0 percent were current illegal drug users. Persons who were not current alcohol users were less likely to have used illegal drugs in the past month (3.5 percent) than those who reported (a) current use of alcohol but did not meet the criteria for binge or heavy use (5.9 percent), (b) binge use but did not meet the criteria for heavy use (16.1 percent), or (c) heavy use of alcohol (32.0 percent).

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.

In completely rural nonmetropolitan counties, current cigarette use among persons aged 12 or older declined from 31.8 percent in 2002 and 28.0 percent in 2003 to 22.8 percent in 2004, leveling off at 23.3 percent in 2005.

Marijuana harms in many ways, and kids are the most vulnerable to its damaging effects. Use of the drug can lead to significant health, safety, social, and learning or behavioral problems, especially for young users. Making matters worse is the fact that the marijuana available today is more potent than ever.

The National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA) research strongly indicates that comprehensive drug and alcohol abuse prevention programs which involve the addict's loved ones are very effective in reducing drug and alcohol abuse and addiction.

Methadone does not get into the bones; this myth likely comes from the debilitating bone and joint pain that is often experienced during opioid withdrawal.
