Report Definitions
Highlights
- SAMHSA's
Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) is a major national data collection
system from SAMHSA's Office of Applied Studies that produces an annual
report of the demographic characteristics and substance abuse problems
of admissions to substance abuse treatment facilities. In addition,
trend data are provided for monitoring changing patterns in substance
abuse treatment admissions and discharges.
- TEDS
produces data on both admissions and discharges from substance abuse
treatment facilities that report to individual State administrative
data systems. In general, facilities reporting TEDS data are those that
receive State alcohol and/or drug agency funds (including Federal Block
Grant funds) for the provision of alcohol and/or drug treatment services.
- TEDS
provides data on about 1.8 million admissions annually and has been
useful to people involved in substance abuse treatment resource allocation
and program planning.
