- Summary:
- Heroin use remains uncommon in the United States, with an estimated 681,000 past year users in 2013 (0.3 percent of the population aged 12 or older); however, the percentage of people using heroin is higher in 2013 than it was a decade ago. In 2013, there were 169,000 past year heroin initiates, which is similar to the number of initiates in most years since 2002. The number of people aged 12 or older who received treatment for heroin during their most recent substance use treatment in the past year was higher in 2013 (526,000) than it was a decade ago. Since the length of the recovery process varies and often requires long-term support, people who receive treatment may no longer be past year users. The percentage of adolescents aged 12 to 17 perceiving great risk from using heroin once or twice a week was lower in 2013 than in 2002 to 2009; while the percentage of adolescents reporting that it would be easy for them to get heroin if they wanted some was lower in 2013 than the percentages in 2002 to 2011.
