Interesting Facts and Statistics:
Almost half (49.1 percent) of teens aged 12 to 17 reported in 2007 that it would be "fairly easy" or "very easy" for them to obtain marijuana if they wanted some. Around one quarter reported it would be easy to get cocaine (24.5 percent). About one in seven (14.1 percent) indicated that heroin would be "fairly" or "very" easily available, and 14.4 percent reported easy availability for LSD.
From 1999 to 2000, the use of MDMA increased among all three grade levels measured in this study - 8th, 10th, and 12th. For 10th and 12th graders, this is the second consecutive year MDMA use has increased. Past year use of MDMA increased among 8th graders from 1.7 percent in 1999 to 3.1 percent in 2000; from 4.4 percent to 5.4 percent among 10th graders; and from 5.6 percent to 8.2 percent among 12th graders.

The risk for Percocet addiction appears to be greatest among women, seniors, and adolescents.
Opiates affect the spinal cord, which transmits sensations from the body. Opiates act here to decrease feelings of pain, even following serious injuries.
After the initial effects, abusers usually will be drowsy for several hours. Mental function is clouded by heroin's effect on the central nervous system. Cardiac function slows. Heroin facts about its short term effects include severely slowed breathing, sometimes to the point of death. Both first time users and experienced heroin abusers are at risk for overdose because they never know the true purity of the heroin they are using. A heroin overdose can take place if the heroin the user has purchased is stronger than they anticipated or if the drug has been "cut" with a dangerous chemical.
There are many different types of Methadone drug recovery programs. It is extremely important to find the right treatment program, so that the individual will have a better success rate of not relapsing.
