Interesting Facts and Statistics:

It is a fact that heroin is particularly addictive because it enters the brain so rapidly. With heroin, the rush is usually accompanied by a warm flushing of the skin, dry mouth, and a heavy feeling in the extremities, which may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and severe itching.

Many women stop having menstrual periods when they are using opiates such as Methadone on a regular basis. If they cut down on Methadone or stop the drug completely, menstruation may resume.

It appears that compulsive cocaine use may develop even more rapidly if the substance is smoked rather than snorted.

Ecstasy can have many of the same physical effects as other stimulants, such as cocaine and amphetamines including increases in heart rate and blood pressure.

Among people aged 12 or older who needed but did not receive illegal drug use treatment and felt they needed treatment (based on 2005 2008 combined data), the most often reported reasons for not receiving treatment were (a) no health coverage and could not afford cost (37.2 percent), (b) not ready to stop using (29.5 percent), (c) concern that receiving treatment might cause neighbors/community to have negative opinion (15.4 percent), (d) not knowing where to go for treatment (15.3 percent), (e) possible negative effect on job (13.0 percent), and (f) being able to handle the problem without treatment (12.0 percent).

Methadone can be prescribed by a doctor for pain relief, but it can only be described for addiction treatment by physicians working in unison with methadone clinics.
