I read a truly amazing statistic today: In 2005 – the latest year for which figures are available – U.S. hospitals delivered 108 million emergency department visits. That’s like saying every third person in America hit an emergency ward at least once that year. Since that’s out of the question, it means some people have to be going to emergency over and over again. I also noticed that 1.5 million of those 108 million visits were for drug misuse or abuse. I wasn’t surprised that illicit drugs were involved in 57% of them, but I was surprised that 49% involved pharmaceuticals abuse or misuse. That sends a clear message about how bad the over-the-counter and prescription drug abuse and misuse problem has become. The recent statistics on OxyContin addiction and abuse prove the point. It also says that hundreds of thousands of people need drug detox and drug rehab.
