Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The main goal of Methadone maintenance treatment is to reduce illegal heroin use and the criminal acts that are associated with heroin addiction.

In 2001, the rate of current illegal drug use was approximately 9 times higher among teens who smoked cigarettes (48.0 percent) than it was among teens who did not (5.3 percent).

An example of a psychological addiction is when an individual chooses to take drug in order to ?chill out? or to numb the pain of an unpleasant circumstance.

Heavy alcohol use and illegal drug abuse has been reported to be highest among construction and food service workers. Also, surveys have indicated that auto mechanics, laborers, and light-truck drivers are among several populations that are much more susceptible to alcohol abuse.

Among teens aged 12 to 17 in 2001, however, the rate of illegal drug or alcohol dependence or abuse among girls (8.0 percent) was similar to the rate among boys (7.6 percent).

Ecstasy is said to increase awareness and feelings of pleasure and to give people energy.
