>Heroin Statistics< (to be honest i looked all over the web and there is no statistic for the rate of successful withdraws from heroin) I know it is the most addictive, lethal and hardest drug to kick.
----------------------------------------
Over 22 million individuals have a substance dependence problem in the US. 14 percent of admissions to publicly funded drug abuse programs were for heroin treatment.
Approximately 3.5 million Americans aged 12 or older reported trying heroin at least once during their lifetimes. (ONDCP)
According to Drug Abuse Warning Network, or DAWN, heroin and morphine accounted for 51% of drug deaths ruled accidental or unexpected.
Of an estimated 108 million emergency department (ED) visits in the U.S., the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) estimates that 1,449,154 were drug-related. DAWN data indicates that heroin was involved in 164,572 ED visits.
The heroin addict spends between $ 20 to $ 200 per day to maintain a heroin addiction. All of these statistics are much more higher today. Heroin use, addiction and overdose is on the rise. And it's not going to get better, in fact, it's going to get worse as time goes on.
