New DASIS Report: Geographic Differences in Substance Abuse Treatment Admissions for Methamphetamine/Amphetamine and Marijuana: 2005
Admissions to substance abuse treatment by State can be monitored with the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS), an annual compilation of data on the demographic characteristics and substance abuse problems of those admitted to substance abuse treatment, primarily at facilities that receive some public funding. TEDS records represent admissions rather than individuals, as a person may be admitted to treatment more than once during a single year.
The following are brief findings found in the report:
- In the Nation as a whole, admission rates to substance abuse treatment facilities increased between 1995 and 2005 for marijuana, methamphetamine/amphetamine, and opiates other than heroin
- In both 1995 and 2005, methamphetamine/amphetamine admission rates were generally highest in the Pacific and Mountain States
- In both 1995 and 2005, marijuana treatment admission rates were generally highest in the West North Central and Pacific States
