The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has released findings from the 2006 National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS). N-SSATS is an annual census of substance abuse treatment facilities that provides data on the location and characteristics of alcohol and drug abuse treatment services throughout the United States. It also provides information on how widely these facilities and programs are used.
Nearly 13,800 facilities participated in the survey, reporting over 1.1 million clients in treatment on March 31, 2006. Facilities operated by private non-profit organizations made up the bulk of treatment facilities (59 percent). Private for-profit facilities made up 28 percent of these services in 2006, with the remaining facilities operated by local governments (7 percent), state governments (3 percent), the Federal Government (2 percent), and tribal governments (1 percent).
