SAMHSA, Office of Applied Studies, conducted a survey in 2006 on current drug use. They found that percentage wise individuals who are over the age of 25 are less likely to be current drug users than people between the ages of 12 and 25. However, there are more people over the age of 25 using drugs than drug users between the ages of 12 and 25. 6.1% of individuals over the age of 25 have used drugs within the past month, 9.8% of individuals between the ages of 12 and 17 have used drugs within the past month, and 19.8% of individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 have used drugs within the past month.
SAMHSA found that only 8.8% of people over the age of 18 and employed full time currently use illegal drugs. 9.4% of people working part time currently use illegal drugs and 18.5% of adults currently unemployed currently use drugs.

It took waking up on the street to persuade me to get help for my addiction. That night, I picked up the phone and called the drug-rehab.org Call Center. It’s a year later. I’m drug-free, and I have urged many other addicts I know to call the drug-rehab.org Call Center. Thank you.TT – Teacher
When my son, Byron, started stumbling in from school and even from work, it was obvious he was “on” something. Desperate, I called the drug-rehab.org Call Center. Within hours, one of their treatment facilities was ready for Byron. He has now been “clean” for three years and is in college.DM – Desperate Mother
Sam, my 17-year-old, was arrested for attempting to buy heroin from an undercover cop. His lawyer suggested we find a treatment facility. We called the drug-rehab.org Call Center. Sam was in treatment within 24 hours. Sam completed his addiction treatment, and received probation – and more importantly, a new lease on life.MP – Mother
My husband didn’t mean to end up an alcoholic. But the nightcap before bed soon became many drinks every night. Thank goodness we called the drug-rehab.org Call Center. My husband is well on his way to sobriety now.JT – Happy Wife
