74. Issues In Focus: Substance Abuse Discusses the stance the US Government has taken on substance abuse. Site offers statistics and links to articles. http://www.rac.org/issues/issuesa.html

Substance Abuse Last Updated July 3, 2001 Status Legislative Summary Substance Abuse and Jewish Values Position of the Reform Jewish Movement ... For More Information Status The United States has tried to attack the problem of drug abuse head on in recent years. The 1997 Drug-Free Communities Act which helps build and strengthen 14,000 anti-drug coalitions, unites civic groups to form a Civic Alliance, and mobilizes communities has had a positive impact. Aggressive law enforcement has also contributed to ridding streets and neighborhoods of drugs. Finally, enhanced international cooperation has somewhat diverted the flow of illegal narcotics into the United States. Results of the War on Drugs have been mixed. Although casual drug use is lower than in recent decades, the number of hard-core drug users has remained relatively constant. According to the 2001 Annual Report of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, an estimated 14.8 million Americans, or 6.7 percent of the population twelve and older, were current illicit drug This number represents 6.7 percent of the population twelve and older. This figure declined significantly between 1979 and 1992, from 23 million to twelve million. Since 1992 the number of current users has gradually increased. An estimated 3.6 million people met diagnostic criteria for dependence on illegal drugs in 1999, including 800,000 youths between the ages of twelve and seventeen. Alcohol and tobacco use is also prevalent among youth, despite being unlawful. Fifty percent of high school seniors use alcohol, and thirty percent use tobacco. Teenagers who use alcohol or tobacco are more likely to use other drugs.

77. Substance Abuse THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Student Counseling AND RESOURCE SERVICE. substance abuse. Any person can develop problems of substance abuse or dependence. http://counseling.uchicago.edu/vpc/uchicago/substance.html

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Student Counseling AND RESOURCE SERVICE Substance Abuse Here at the University of Chicago, you face many opportunities for growth and change. With opportunities come choices. Among these are decisions regarding the role that alcohol and other drugs will have in your experience here. Many people have actually used alcohol or other drugs prior to coming to the University. All people begin to form expectations about the effects of these substances long before they ever consider using them. Entering the University community, however, often leads to new opportunities, incentives, and even pressures to use or abuse alcohol or other drugs. Whether you are over or under 21, the legal drinking age, you will be faced with decisions regarding the use of alcohol and other drugs. When encountering opportunities at parties, on dates, or in your dorm or apartment to use or abuse alcohol or other drugs, it is important to remember that you have choices. Prepare yourself to make informed decisions. The consequences of alcohol or other drug use can be devastating. The choices you make can affect your academic performance, increase your chance of contracting a sexually transmitted disease or developing other acute or chronic physical problems, expose you to legal repercussions, or jeopardize your enrollment at the University (which prohibits the unlawful manufacture, possession, use, distribution, sale, or purchase of alcohol or illicit drugs). Any person can develop problems of substance abuse or dependence. Some factors, however, can place certain individuals at increased risk for these problems. Such factors include having a close relative, such as a parent or sibling, who has a problem with drugs or alcohol. Being closely involved with someone, such as a family member, spouse, or friend, who displays alcoholic or addictive behavior can also lead to emotional conflicts and subsequent problems in managing relationships and getting along with others.
