Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) admission data with the treatment
location in 2004, nonmetropolitan areas with cities had the highest
admission rate for methamphetamines/ amphetamines and large fringe
metropolitan areas had the lowest admission rate (160 admissions per
100,000 vs. 49 admissions per 100,000 persons aged 12 or older). The
national treatment admission rate for methamphetamines/ amphetamines
was 85 admissions per 100,000 persons aged 12 or older.
- Among all methamphetamine/amphetamine
admissions for which treatment location was known, 33% were treated
in large central metro areas, 21% in large fringe metro areas, 31%
in small metro areas, 9% in non metro areas with a city, and 6% in
nonmetro areas without a city (rural).
- The percentage of
substance abuse treatment admissions for methamphetamine/amphetamine
abuse that were aged 18 to 25 years older was lowest in the most urbanized
counties and highest in the most rural counties (26% vs. 32%).
- The route of administration
differed by rural/urban status: the percentage of methamphetamine/amphetamine
admissions that smoked the drugs was highest in the most urbanized
counties (62%) and lowest in the most rural counties (48%).
