"University of Iowa researchers see trends in who is using synthetic, or manufactured, stimulants such as methamphetamine and misused prescription drugs, and the experts are focusing on one of the obstacles that prevent people from getting help to end their habit. People who seek admission to substance abuse treatment facilities for misuse of synthetic stimulants are more likely to be younger than those who abuse non-stimulant drugs such as marijuana, say the researchers. In addition, women are increasingly likely to use stimulants rather than non-stimulants, and whites are much more likely than blacks and other ethnic groups to use stimulants."
