Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Of the 8.0 million persons who had driven under the influence of illegal drugs in the past year, most (77 percent) had also driven under the influence of alcohol.

Methadone was first marketed during World War II under the brand name Dolophine and was used as an analgesic for the treatment of severe pain. Methadone is currently being used and by doctors for pain relief in patients who do not have insurance, as it is much cheaper than any other prescription pain pill on the market today.

In 2007, there were 2.1 million current cocaine users aged 12 or older, comprising 0.8 percent of the population. These estimates were similar to the number and rate in 2006 (2.4 million or 1.0 percent).

Among adults aged 18 or older, past year prevalence of MDE was higher among unemployed persons (11.6 percent) than among persons employed full time (6.6 percent), persons employed part time (7.6 percent), and persons not in the labor force (7.8 percent).

Nationally, 7.7 percent of the population aged 12 or older was classified with dependence on or abuse of alcohol in the past year (Table A.13). Persons aged 18 to 25 had the highest rate of alcohol dependence or abuse (17.7 percent).

Serious health and appearance problems associated with many meth users can be caused by unsterilized needles, lack or ignoring of hygiene needs (more typical on chronic methamphetamine use), increase in acne on high doses, and obsessive skin-picking which may lead to abscesses.
