Answer by Toad
‘Credible’ made me rethink many suggestions. Many wonderful organizations out there though, for the type of statistical credibility I believe you are looking for, I am leaning toward these:
http://www.nida.nih.gov/
http://www.samhsa.gov/
http://www.oxford.gov.uk/community/drug-addiction.cfm
however, I most often would research well beyond these three to feel ‘sufficient’ credibility, though that is true of all topics.
