- In 2008, for every 1 death in the United States due to prescription painkiller abuse there were 130 people who abuse or are dependent on prescription painkillers.

- When asked how prescription opioids were obtained for recreational use, more than half of the 12th graders surveyed (NSDUH, 2010) said they were given the drugs or bought them from a friend or relative.
