Does Anybody Have Any Drug Abuse Statistics About Jamaica?
Question by Adam B: Does anybody have any drug abuse statistics about Jamaica?
I am writing up a study for my class about different cultures between my home in the UK and Jamaica, and whilst it has been relatively easy to find information closer to home, I can not find one single statistic for Jamaica that relates to drug ABUSE. I know about the attitudes of Jamaicans towards drugs but I don’t have any official or non official statistics about it
any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

World Drug Addiction Statistics?
Question by Max: World Drug Addiction Statistics?
I was extremely curious if anyone has a chart or something saying what percentage of the population are drug/alcohol addicts split up country to country. It seems like the rate is very high in the United States meaning that just being born here makes us more prone to drug addiction. Very interesting..

I don’t think we are more prone, we just have a lot more access. People can abuse prescription drugs quite easily by going to different MD’s. Then they get hooked and will buy off the street if they can’t get a prescription. Just like we have more shootings than most places, the guns are easily had.
Where Is Drug Abuse Worst in the U.S.?
Question by Hawks fan 206: Where is drug abuse worst in the U.S.?
Any data would be great
Best answer:
Answer by Alexander
I assume that the increased availability of drugs is where the greatest amount of harm is. drugs become bad when people don’t receive medical treatment. Since drugs can be shipped anywhere and access to health care is unfair, the worst problem is in large neighborhoods where many teens are on probation for drug related crimes.

Can I Kick a Lortab Addiction Using Suboxone in Just 2 Weeks?
Question by kizzzy73: Can I kick a lortab addiction using Suboxone in just 2 weeks?
I am addicted to hydrocodone/oxycodone. This all began because I had back pain and a friend gave me a lortab. Over time the same amount of hydrocodone didn’t help so I would take more. I needed more and more and eventually my friend could no longer supply me. I had an MRI done and it came back clear so I could not get my own prescription. I now buy them illegally. I take lortab or percecet. I take no less than 10 pills per day and have taken up to 25 in a 24 hour period.
I managed to keep my addiction from my family until recently when I decided to tell my husband. This is not the life I want and I know I need help. He has been more supportive than I could have ever imagined and says he will help me do whatever it takes to get me off of this stuff. I feel like I have been living a double life. I’m so tired of needing to take a pill everyday to feel normal. I’m also sick of the life I’m living to get them. The daily hunt for pills, the money I have spent, and most of all… the embarrassment I feel for lying to my family and for letting it get this far. I contacted a rehab clinic yesterday and I am scheduled to begin suboxone next week. I do not want to substitute one addiction for another. I would like to take the suboxone for just 2 weeks, just long enough to get through the withdrawals. Am I thinking realistic or is that just not feasible? Is 2 weeks enough time am I then going to be addicted to this new drug? I would appreciate any advice.
This has been going on for about a year and a half.
