Facts

  • Somewhere between 10 and 35 percent of heavy drinkers develop alcoholic hepatitis.
  • The number of patients in search of detox or substance abuse treatment as the reason for their emergency room visit remained relatively stable between 2004 through 2008.
  • The abuse of prescription drugs such as OxyContin is responsible for a great deal of health care fraud, such as corrupt physicians writing prescriptions for OxyContin for nonexistent injuries. The patient in this circumstance will often use a portion of the prescribed pills and then sell the rest for a substantial profit.
  • The short and long term effects of Bath Salts are still unknown due to the fact that these synthetic drugs are new and have not yet been tested for human consumption.
