Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The current availability of high-concentration Morphine preparations (i.e., 20-mg/ml oral solutions, 25-mg/ml injectable solutions, and 200-mg sustained-release tablets) reflects the use of this substance for chronic pain management in opiate-tolerant patients.

Methadone addiction is a very serious problem. In blind trials, users who were given both of the drugs orally were not able to tell the difference between the effects of heroin and Methadone.

The U.S. heroin market is supplied entirely from foreign sources of opium.

The large amount of oxycodone (10 to 80 mg) in OxyContin renders this drug highly attractive to opioid abusers and doctor-shoppers.

Opiates effect the brainstem, which controls things your body does automatically, like breathing. Opiates can act on the brainstem to slow breathing, stop coughing, and lessen feelings of pain.

Current illegal drug use rates remained stable from 2005 to 2006 among teens aged 12 to 17. However, rates of current use declined significantly from 2002 to 2006 for any illegal drug and several specific drugs (including marijuana, hallucinogens, LSD, Ecstasy, prescription-type drugs used nonmedically, pain relievers, tranquilizers, and the use of illegal drugs other than marijuana). For any illegal drug use, the rates were 11.6 percent in 2002, 11.2 percent in 2003, 10.6 percent in 2004, 9.9 percent in 2005, and 9.8 percent in 2006.
