Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Methadone, which is a long-acting synthetic narcotic analgesic, was used for the first time as a maintenance treatment for treating drug addictions in the mid-1960s by Dr. Vincent Dole and Marie Nyswander of Rockefeller University.

In 2004, 2.1 million persons had used marijuana for the first time within the past 12 months. This estimate was not significantly different from the number in 2003 (2.0 million). The average age at first use among the 2.1 million recent marijuana initiates was 18.0 years. Most (63.8 percent) of the recent initiates were younger than age 18 when they first used.

Only very powerful motivation can be the catalyst to an addict deciding to end their substance abuse. This motivation comes about when the consequences of using become much more painful than not using.

An estimated 374,000 people entering an emergency room annually do so with a primary marijuana problem.

In 2008, current cigarette smoking was more common among unemployed adults aged 18 or older than among adults who were working full time or part time (43.0 vs. 27.2 and 23.8 percent, respectively).
