First-Time and Repeat Admissions Aged 18 to 25 to Substance Abuse Treatment, 2006

The DASIS Report: First-Time and Repeat Admissions Aged 18 to 25 to Substance Abuse Treatment, 2006

  • HTML format (also has the data table used to construct each figure)

Highlights:

  • Based on SAMHSA's Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) on substance abuse treatment admissions in 2006, repeat admissions aged 18 to 25 were more likely than first-time admissions of the same age group to report heroin and other opiates as the primary substance of abuse (27% vs. 12%) and to report the use of multiple substances (67% vs. 56%).
  • The South was unlike any other region in that a majority of all admissions aged 18 to 25 were first-time admissions instead of repeat admissions, regardless of the primary substance of abuse.
  • The criminal justice system was the principal referral source to substance abuse treatment for all admissions aged 18 to 25 whether first-time substance abuse treatment admissions or repeat substance abuse treatment admissions.

This Short Report, The DASIS Report: First-Time and Repeat Admissions Aged 18 to 25 to Substance Abuse Treatment, 2006 is based on the Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS), the primary source of national data on substance abuse treatment.  DASIS is conducted by the Office of Applied Studies (OAS) in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
