unveils the new National
Survey on Drug Use and Health
at a press conference on
Thursday, September 7. The
annual survey, formerly called

illegal drugs,
pharmaceuticals, alcohol and
tobacco. The release of the
2005 survey is the highlight
of the annual National Alcohol

ushers in a month long
observance lauding the gains
made by those in recovery from
alcohol and drug abuse, as
well as treatment providers.

The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
today announced that current
illicit drug use among youth
ages 12-17 continues to
decline. The rate has been
moving downward from 11.6
percent using drugs in the
past month in 2002 to 11.2
