Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Sobriety means the moderation in or abstinence from consumption of alcoholic liquor or use of drugs. When an individual with an addiction problem enters drug rehabilitation, their main goal is to attain long term sobriety.

Slightly more than half of Americans aged 12 or older reported being current drinkers of alcohol in the 2005 survey (51.8 percent). This translates to an estimated 126 million people, which is higher than the 2004 estimate of 121 million people (50.3 percent).

The rate of current alcohol use was 63.0 percent for full time employed adults aged 18 or older in 2008, higher than the rate for unemployed adults (55.5 percent). However, the rate of heavy use for unemployed persons was 12.8 percent, which was higher than the rate of 8.8 percent for full time employed persons. There was no significant difference in binge alcohol use rates between full time employed adults (30.3 percent) and unemployed adults (33.4 percent).

The number and the percentage of teens aged 12 to 17 who needed treatment for an illegal drug or alcohol use problem remained unchanged between 2007 (2.0 million, 7.9 percent) and 2008 (1.9 million, 7.8 percent); however, there was a significant decrease between 2002 (2.3 million, 9.1 percent) and 2008. Of the 1.9 million teens who needed treatment in 2008, 143,000 received treatment at a specialty facility (about 7.4 percent of the teens who needed treatment), leaving 1.8 million who needed treatment for a substance use problem but did not receive it at a specialty facility.

The method of smoking marijuana through a blunt combines marijuana's active ingredients with nicotine and other harmful chemicals.

Recent studies have indicated that the users of bath salts are male and female and that they range in age from teenagers to being adults in their 40's; the common denominator appeared to be that most of the users appeared to have an extensive substance abuse history.
