|||||||||
The Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration will unveil the new “Household Survey” at a press conference on Friday September 5. The annual survey, renamed the “National Survey on Drug Use and Health” to reflect survey changes, is the largest of its kind, and is the government’s primary vehicle for determining how many persons are abusing illegal drugs, pharmaceuticals, alcohol and tobacco. The release of the 2002 survey is the highlight of the annual Recovery Month press conference that ushers in a month long celebration of treatment for and recovery from alcohol and drug abuse, and honors those in recovery, as well as treatment providers.
