Did You Know? ...
Interesting Facts and Statistics:
Among the 5.1 million adults who reported an unmet need for mental health care and did not receive mental health services in the past year, several barriers to care were reported. These included an inability to afford care (42.7 percent), believing at the time that the problem could be handled without care (28.6 percent), not knowing where to go for care (19.8 percent), and not having the time to go for care (13.9 percent).
Related to the prevalence of marijuana use is the number of persons in a period of time who used marijuana for the first time ever. When the number of first-time users of a substance increases for a number of consecutive years, the prevalence rate for the substance tends to increase also. The average annual incidence of marijuana for this report is estimated somewhat differently than in the national report. The estimate for a single year is averaged over the 2 most recent years and expressed as a percentage or rate per 100 person years of exposure.6 For the combined years 2002.2003, the national marijuana incidence rate for all persons aged 12 or older was 1.8 percent. Vermont had the highest rate, 2.7 percent (Table B.5).
Studies show that about 9 percent of marijuana users become addicted, a number that increases among those who start young (to about 17 percent) and among daily users (25-50 percent).
The economic burden of substance abuse to the US economy has currently been estimated at a staggering $424 billion annually. Alcohol abuse alone costs nearly $169 billion each year.
Among unemployed adults aged 18 or older in 2007, 18.3 percent were current illegal drug users, which was higher than the 8.4 percent of those employed full time and 10.1 percent of those employed part time. However, most illegal drug users were employed. Of the 17.4 million current illegal drug users aged 18 or older in 2007, 13.1 million (75.3 percent) were employed either full or part time.
Statistics show that Opiate abuse and Opiate addiction cost Americans hundreds of billions of dollars annually including healthcare costs (and abuses of that system), lost job wages, traffic accidents, crime and the associated criminal justice system costs.
