Facilities with DUI/DWI Programs: 2004 |
| In Brief |
|
Both types of facilities were most likely to report a primary focus of substance abuse treatment (75 percent for DUI/DWI-only facilities, 57 percent for multi-program facilities), followed by a mix of mental health and substance abuse treatment (19 percent for DUI/DWI-only facilities, 35 percent for multi-program facilities).
Type of Care
Most facilities that had DUI/DWI programs offered only outpatient treatment (89 percent for multi-program facilities and 95 percent for DUI/DWI-only facilities) (Figure 1).1 Only 1 percent of these facilities offered only hospital inpatient and/or residential treatment with no outpatient treatment.

N-SSATS 2004 asked about the variety of services provided at a facility. Multi-program facilities were more likely than DUI/DWI-only facilities to offer a number of these services.
Assessment and Therapy Services. Multi-program facilities were more likely than DUI/DWI-only facilities to offer comprehensive substance abuse assessment (99 vs. 89 percent), comprehensive mental health assessment (49 vs. 21 percent), individual therapy (98 vs. 85 percent), and family counseling (84 vs. 50 percent) (Figure 3). A similar proportion of both multi-program (94 percent) and DUI/DWI-only (89 percent) facilities offered group therapy.

Transitional and Ancillary Services. Multi-program facilities were also more likely than DUI/DWI-only facilities to offer various service coordination and post-treatment services such as case management (67 vs. 46 percent), aftercare counseling (89 vs. 68 percent), relapse prevention groups (84 vs. 68 percent), discharge planning (83 vs. 64 percent), and assistance obtaining social services (46 vs. 15 percent) (Figure 4).

Testing and Pharmacotherapies. Multi-program facilities were more likely than DUI/DWI-only facilities to offer drug or alcohol urine screening (82 vs. 57 percent) and breathalyzer or other blood alcohol testing (65 vs. 52 percent). Both types of facilities offering special groups or programs specifically for DUI/DWI populations were equally likely to offer one of the pharmacotherapies used in the treatment of alcohol abuse and dependence; 19 percent of multi-program facilities and 20 percent of DUI/DWI-only facilities reported that treatment with Antabuse2 was available.
End Notes
1 The types of care are outpatient, non-hospital
residential, and hospital inpatient. Outpatient care includes outpatient detoxification,
outpatient methadone maintenance, outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization
(20 or more hours per week), intensive outpatient treatment (a minimum of
2 hours per day on 3 or more days per week), and regular outpatient treatment
(fewer hours per week than intensive). Non-hospital residential care includes
residential detoxification, residential short-term treatment (30 days or less),
and residential long-term treatment (more than 30 days). Hospital inpatient
care includes inpatient detoxification and inpatient treatment.
2 Antabuse (disulfiram) was the first drug ever approved for treating
problem drinkers. It interferes with the metabolism of alcohol, causing unpleasant
side effects when alcohol is ingested. For more information, see http://dpt.samhsa.gov/antabuse.htm.
| The Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS) is an integrated data system maintained by the Office of Applied Studies, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). One component of DASIS is the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), an annual survey of all facilities in the United States, both public and private, that provide substance abuse treatment. N-SSATS was formerly known as the Uniform Facility Data Set (UFDS). The DASIS Report is prepared by the Office of Applied Studies, SAMHSA; Synectics for Management Decisions, Inc., Arlington, Virginia; and by RTI International in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (RTI International is a trade name of Research Triangle Institute). Information and data for this report are based on data reported to N-SSATS for the survey reference date March 31, 2004.
