has the data table used to construct each figure)
Highlights:
- "Psychiatric
problem in addition to alcohol or drug problem" is a supplemental
data set item collected by States for SAMHSA's Treatment Episode Data
Set (TEDS). Data from the 26 States that had a response rate of 75%
or higher on this item in 2005 were used to examine substance abuse
treatment admissions of males with co-occurring psychiatric and substance
use disorders.
- Male
admissions to substance abuse treatment with co-occurring psychiatric
and substance use disorders were more likely than those without these
co-occurring disorders to have started using alcohol and/or illicit
drugs before age 13 (18% vs. 13%). The largest differences between first
use before age 13 for the co-occurring vs. non co-occurring groups of
male substance abuse treatment admissions were for alcohol (24% vs.
16%) and marijuana (32% vs. 23%).
- Among
male substance abuse treatment admissions reporting alcohol, cocaine,
marijuana, or stimulants as the primary substance of abuse, those with
co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders were more likely
than those without co-occurring disorders to report daily use of these
substances.
- Male
substance abuse treatment admissions with co-occurring disorders were
more likely than those without co-occurring disorders to report five
or more prior substance abuse treatment episodes (17% vs. 10%).
