¹ "Needing But Not Receiving Treatment" refers to respondents classified as needing treatment for any illicit drug, but have not received treatment for an illicit drug problem at a specialty facility (i.e., drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities [inpatient or outpatient], hospitals [inpatient only], and mental health centers). Illicit drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), inhalants, hallucinogens, heroin, or prescription-type psychotherapeutic (nonmedical use).
² Persons who felt a need for treatment include persons who did not receive but felt they needed treatment for an illicit drug problem, as well as persons who only received treatment for an illicit drug problem at a nonspecialty facility and felt they needed additional treatment.
³ Persons who did not feel a need for treatment include persons who did not receive and felt they did not need treatment for an illicit drug problem, as well as persons who only received treatment for an illicit drug problem at a nonspecialty facility and felt they did not need additional treatment.
