Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Among teens aged 12 to 17, the rate of binge alcohol was associated with county type. The rates of binge alcohol use were 11.5 percent in nonmetropolitan areas, 10.2 percent in small metropolitan areas, and 9.3 percent in large metropolitan areas. In completely rural counties of nonmetropolitan areas, 11.9 percent of teens reported binge drinking.

Initiation of tranquilizer use has been increasing steadily since 1986. The number of initiates increased significantly from 734,000 in 1999 to 973,000 in 2000. Further, the age distribution of initiates shifted during the 1990s. In 1990, about 15 percent of initiates were teens aged 12 to 17; by the late 1990s, about one third of all initiates were teens.

An individual's perception of the risks of substance use has been shown to be related to whether he or she actually uses the substance (e.g., Bachman, Johnston, & O'Malley, 1998). In 2002, the State with the lowest rate of perceived great risk of using marijuana occasionally (once a month) among persons aged 12 or older was Massachusetts (Table A.3). Only about 25 percent of all persons aged 12 or older in Massachusetts thought that occasional use was a great risk. This is striking in that Massachusetts reported only a moderate rate (6.3 percent) of past month use of marijuana in the 12 or older age group (Table A.2). States in the West and Northeast accounted for most of the lowest rates of perceptions of great risk of marijuana use among persons aged 12 or older. In addition to Massachusetts, there were Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. Seven of the States having the lowest perceived risks also reported rates in the highest fifth for past month marijuana use for persons aged 12 or older. Similarly, of the 10 States indicating the highest perceived risk of occasional marijuana use among persons aged 12 or older, six had past month marijuana use rates that were in the lowest fifth (Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia).

It is more vital than ever for a message to be sent to the youth in that reinforces that never trying drugs is by far the better option, as compared to experimenting and then becoming addicted to them.

There are many prescription drug rehab programs across the country. Many programs offer detoxification as part of their plan. Detox safely manages the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal which are associated with stopping prescription drug use. This is only the initial step on the road to recovery. Alone, detox does little to change long-term prescription drug addiction.

As higher doses of heroin are used over time, physical dependence and addiction to the drug develop.
