Facts

  • While overall drug use in the U.S. dropped sharply through the Eighties, heroin use has remained relatively stable.
  • Use of methamphetamine often results in mental confusion which can impair one's ability to take medications that have been prescribed for HIV infection or other conditions, worsening the illness and outcome of the illness.
  • Use of Valium can become addictive because the individual can begin to rely too much on the drug for its effects, which produces an almost immediate calming effect throughout the body and mind.
  • Most states require that a doctor document any methadone which is being dispensed for pain but not for the treatment of drug addiction, and all physicians with appropriate Drug Enforcement Agency registration may prescribe methadone for pain control.
