In 2007, American Indian/Alaska Native female admissions aged 25 to 34 were more likely than other female admissions the same age to report primary alcohol abuse. Among female admissions aged 25 to 34, Black admissions were more likely to report primary marijuana abuse and primary cocaine abuse, and Asian/Pacific Islander admissions were more likely to report primary methamphetamine abuse, than other female admissions. Black and Hispanic female admissions aged 25 to 34 were more likely than other female admissions the same age to have not completed a high school education. Regardless of race/ethnicity, about a quarter or less of female admissions aged 25 to 34 were employed.

Facilities offering acupuncture services most commonly accepted cash or self-payments (85 percent), private health insurance (63 percent), or Medicaid payments (56 percent). Overall, most facilities that offered acupuncture also offered other ancillary services to support the needs of clients, such as substance abuse education, discharge planning, case management, and aftercare. Facilities that offered acupuncture were twice as likely as all substance abuse treatment facilities to offer special programs or groups for adolescents (64 vs. 31 percent) and persons with HIV/AIDS (20 vs. 10 percent).

Combined 2004 to 2007 data indicate that 9.7 percent of adults aged 18 or older needed treatment for a substance use problem in the past year, and 10.5 percent of those needing substance use treatment received it in the past year in a specialty facility. Approximately 1 in 12 adults (7.5 percent) had a major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year, and 66.1 percent of them received treatment for depression in the past year. Among those in need of substance use treatment, blacks had higher rates of receipt of treatment in a specialty facility than persons of two or more races, Hispanics, whites, and Asians (17.8 vs. 11.9, 11.3, 9.2, and 5.5 percent, respectively). Among adults with past year MDE, whites were more likely to have received treatment than blacks, Hispanics, and Asians (69.6 vs. 57.4, 53.4, and 48.0 percent, respectively), and persons of two or more races were more likely to have received treatment than Hispanics and Asians (65.2 vs. 53.4 and 48.0 percent, respectively).

The majority of substance abuse treatment facilities operated by a Tribal government (73 percent) or the Indian Health Service (63 percent) were located in rural areas, while the majority of privately operated or State/local/community government-operated facilities that served the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population were located in urban areas (62 percent). Substance abuse treatment facilities operated by a Tribal government were more likely to provide only outpatient services than facilities operated by the Indian Health Service or facilities serving the AI/AN populations that were operated by a private organization or a State/local/community government. Forty-three percent of AI/AN facilities offered treatment services in one or more AI/AN languages.

            <title>Campaign for Mental Health Recovery: What A Difference A Friend Makes Brochure</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[<img src="http://ncadi.samhsa.gov/tech/rss/pub_covers/SMA07-4265.gif" height="119" width="115" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="4" style="border: solid 1px #000000;" alt="cover of Campaign for Mental Health Recovery: What A Difference A Friend Makes Brochure" />

The opportunity for recovery from mental illness is more likely in a society of acceptance. Many Americans are misinformed about mental illness and respond negatively when confronted with a friends mental illness. According to the 2006 HealthStyles Survey conducted by Porter Novelli, fewer than one-third of adults believe a person with mental illness can recover, and about 1 in 4 adults age 18-24 believes a person with mental illness can recover. To help improve awareness about recovery from mental illness, SAMHSA and the Ad Council have developed an anti-stigma campaign, targeted to men and women 18-24 years old, which focuses on friends as a key component of mental health recovery.

In 2006-2007, almost one in twelve (7.9 percent) fathers living with adolescents aged 12 to 17 had an alcohol use disorder, and 68.1 percent used alcohol in the past year but did not have an alcohol use disorder. The rate of past year alcohol use among adolescents was lower for those who lived with a father who did not use alcohol in the past year than for those who lived with a father who used alcohol but did not have an alcohol use disorder and for those who lived with a father with an alcohol use disorder (21.1 vs. 33.2 and 38.8 percent, respectively). The percentage of adolescents using illicit drugs in the past year increased with the level of paternal alcohol use, with illicit drug use reported by 14.0 percent of adolescents who lived with a father who did not use alcohol in the past year, 18.4 percent of those who lived with a father who used alcohol but did not have an alcohol use disorder, and 24.2 percent of those who lived with a father with an alcohol use disorder.

            <title>TIP 50:  Addressing Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in Substance Abuse Treatment</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[Research consistently shows a high prevalence of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts among persons with substance abuse problems who are in treatment. TIP 50, Addressing Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in Substance Abuse Treatment is designed to assist substance abuse counselors in working with adult clients who may be suicidal, and will help clinical supervisors and administrators support the work of substance abuse counselors. Part I, for counselors, provides the "what" and the "why" and the "how" of working with clients in substance abuse treatment with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It covers background information about suicide and substance use disorders, including risk factors and warning signs for suicide and a four-step process for addressing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Part 2, for administrators, clarifies why program administrators should be concerned about this clinical issue. Part 3 is for clinical supervisors, interested counselors, and administrators and consists of three sections: an analysis of the available literature, an annotated bibliography and a general bibliography. Part 3 is available only on line at <a href="http://www.kap.samhsa.gov">www.kap.samhsa.gov</a>.

            <title>The NSDUH Report May 21, 2009:  Substance Use among Women During Pregnancy and Following Childbirth</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[<img src="http://ncadi.samhsa.gov/tech/rss/pub_covers/SMA09-172.gif" height="149" width="115" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="4" style="border: solid 1px #000000;" alt="cover of The NSDUH Report May 21, 2009:  Substance Use among Women During Pregnancy and Following Childbirth" />

Combined 2002 to 2007 data show that past month alcohol use among women aged 18 to 44 was highest for those who were not pregnant and did not have children living in the household (63.0 percent) but comparatively low for women in the first trimester of pregnancy (19.0 percent), and even lower for those in the second (7.8 percent) or third trimester (6.2 percent); similar patterns were seen with marijuana, cigarette, and binge alcohol use. Data suggest that use of these substances increases following childbirth; for example, marijuana use was higher for recent mothers with children under 3 months old in the household (3.8 percent) than for women in the third trimester of pregnancy (1.4 percent), suggesting resumption of use among mothers in the first 3 months after childbirth.

            <title>The NSDUH Report May 28, 2009: Parental Involvement in Preventing Youth Substance Use</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[In 2007, most youths aged 12 to 17 believed that their parents would strongly disapprove of their having one or two drinks of an alcoholic beverage nearly every day (89.6 percent), smoking one or more packs of cigarettes per day (92.1 percent), and using marijuana or hashish once a month or more (93.3 percent). The majority of youths indicated that their parents were involved in their day-to-day activities; for example, 86.2 percent said their parents always or sometimes let them know when they had done a good job, and 80.9 percent of those who were in school said their parents always or sometimes provided help with homework. Youths' perceptions of parental disapproval of their substance use as well as parental involvement generally decreased with age; for example, 95.8 percent of 12 or 13 year olds compared with 93.4 percent of 14 or 15 year olds and 87.4 percent of 16 or 17 year olds thought their parents would strongly disapprove of their smoking one or more packs of cigarettes per day.

            <title>The NSDUH Report May 11, 2009:  Major Depressive Episode and Treatment among Adolescents (MDE)</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[<img src="http://ncadi.samhsa.gov/tech/rss/pub_covers/NSDUH09-0511.gif" height="149" width="115" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="4" style="border: solid 1px #000000;" alt="cover of The NSDUH Report May 11, 2009:  Major Depressive Episode and Treatment among Adolescents (MDE)" />

In 2007, 8.2 percent of adolescents (an estimated 2.0 million youths aged 12 to 17) experienced at least one major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year, and about two fifths (38.9 percent) of those received treatment for depression in the past year. Among adolescents with past year MDE, those with no health insurance coverage were much less likely than those with Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance Program or private health insurance to have received treatment (17.2 vs. 42.9 and 40.6 percent, respectively). Among those adolescents who saw or talked to a medical doctor or other professional about depression, 58.8 percent saw or talked to a counselor, 36.8 percent saw or talked to a psychologist, 27.3 percent saw or talked to a psychiatrist or psychotherapist, and 26.6 percent saw or talked to a general practitioner or family doctor.

            <title>TIP 49: Incorporating Alcohol Pharmacotherapies Into Medical Practice</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[<img src="http://ncadi.samhsa.gov/tech/rss/pub_covers/SMA09-4380.gif" height="148" width="115" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="4" style="border: solid 1px #000000;" alt="cover of TIP 49: Incorporating Alcohol Pharmacotherapies Into Medical Practice" />

This TIP provides clinical guidelines for the proper use of medications in the treatment of alcohol use disorders. The underlying objective is to expand access to information about the effective use of these medications, not only in specialty substance abuse treatment programs but through physicians' offices and other general medical care settings. The TIP includes discussions of medications approved for treating alcohol use disorders by the Food and Drug Administration: acamprosate, disulfiram, oral naltrexone, and extended- release injectable naltrexone. The TIP decsribes each medication's history, the reasons for its use, how to use it, who should use it, and other clinical information about medication.

The NSDUH Report - Alcohol Treatment: Need, Utilization, & Barriers, a 3 page OAS short report based on data from SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use & Health (NSDUH) that examines the demographics of persons in the general population aged 12 or older who met criteria for needing alcohol treatment and for those who actual received alcohol treatment. Many people who need treatment do not feel that need and therefore do not seek treatment. Because the barriers for those who both need alcohol treatment and feel that need are presented in this report, treatment health professionals can better target strategies to deal with these unmet alcohol treatment needs.

            <title>The NSDUH Report March 19, 2009:  Concurrent Illicit Drug and Alcohol Use</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[Because of possible additive or interactive drug effects, data from SAMHSA's 2006 and 2007 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health were pooled to examine the likelihood of multiple concurrent substance use. The measure used to define concurrent substance use for this report was illicit drug use during or within 2 hours of last alcohol use. About 6% (7.1 million) of persons age 12 or older who drank alcohol in the past month also reported using an illicit drug during or within 2 hours of their last alcohol drink. Among past month alcohol drinkers, American Indian or Alaska Natives (11.7%) and Blacks (9.9%) were the most likely racial groups and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders (4.2%) and Asians (2.1%) were the least likely racial groups to use an illicit drug concurrently with alcohol. Youth aged 12 to 17 and young adults aged 18 to 25 were more likely than older persons among the past month alcohol drinkers to drink alcohol concurrently with an illicit drug.

            <title>Culture Card: American Indian and Alaska Native: A Guide to Build Cultural Awareness</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[The purpose of this guide was originally to provide basic information for federal disaster responders and other federal health providers who may be deployed or otherwise assigned to provide or coordinate mental health services in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. After one year of availability to only federal employees, the value of this guide to non-federal employees who work with AI/AN communities in a variety of settings was acknowledged and the Culture Card is now available to the general public. The guide is intended to serve as a general briefing to enhance cultural competence while providing services to AI/AN communities. (Cultural competence is defined as the ability to function effectively in the context of cultural differences.) It provides basic information on common AI/AN issues. Due to the diversity of tribes in the nation, the authors suggest users keep in mind that it should be supplemented by a more specific local orientation or training provided by a member of the particular community which user of the card is preparing to interact with. This is a pocket sized guide with fold out sections that cover the following topics: About This Guide, Myths and Facts, Tribal Sovereignty, Regional Cultural Differences, Cultural Customs, Spirituality, Communication Styles, Role of Veterans and Elders, Strengths in AI/AN Communities, Health and Wellness Challenges, Self-Awareness, and Etiquette Do's and Don'ts.

            <description>
                <![CDATA[SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health provides trend data from 2002 to 2007 on smokeless tobacco use in the general population aged 12 and older. The rate of past month smokeless tobacco use remained relatively stable in the range of 3.0% to 3.3% between 2002 and 2007 among persons aged 12 or older; however, there were increases among certain subpopulations — in particular, among adolescent males. Among past month smokeless tobacco users, 85.8% used cigarettes at some time in their lives and 38.8% used cigarettes in the past month. Among persons who had used both smokeless tobacco and cigarettes in their lifetime, 31.8% started using smokeless tobacco first, 65.5% started using cigarettes first, and 2.7% initiated use of smokeless tobacco and cigarettes at about the same time.

            <description>
                <![CDATA[SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) defines inhalants as "liquids, sprays, and gases that people sniff or inhale to get high or to make them feel good." In 2007, almost one million youth used inhalants in the past year. The percentage of youths aged 12 to 17 who used inhalants in the past year was lower in 2007 (3.9%) than in 2003 (4.5%), 2004 (4.6%), and 2005 (4.5%). Among youth who used inhalants for the first time in the past year, the rate of the use of nitrous oxide or "whippets" declined between 2002 and 2007 among both males (40.2% to 20.2%) and females (22.3% to 12.2%). In 2007, 17.2% of youth who initiated illicit drug use during the past year indicated that inhalants were the first drug that they used; this rate remained relatively stable between 2002 and 2007. Past year dependence on or abuse of inhalants remained relatively stable between 2002 and 2007 with around 99,000 youth meeting the criteria for dependence or abuse in 2007.

This issue of SAMHSA News launches our print redesign with a new masthead, connections to SAMHSA News online (at <a href="http://www.samhsa.gov/samhsaNewsletter">www.samhsa.gov/samhsaNewsletter</a>), and more. The cover story describes SAMHSA’s successful Drug Free Communities Support program with more than 750 grantees nationwide. Local problems demand local solutions. That’s the basic philosophy behind SAMHSA’s Drug Free Community Support program, which harnesses the power of community coalitions to reduce and ultimately prevent substance abuse among young people. A Maryland grantee’s positive experiences are included. Prevention works!<br><br>

Features in this issue include suicide prevention, older adults, Assertive Community Treatment to help people with mental illness live in the community, a Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) on depressive symptoms in clients with substance abuse issues, and informational briefs on cost-effective ways for employers to maintain a drug-free workplace.

            <description>
                <![CDATA[<img src="http://ncadi.samhsa.gov/tech/rss/pub_covers/SMA08-4361.gif" height="149" width="115" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="4" style="border: solid 1px #000000;" alt="cover of Characteristics of State Mental Health Agency Data Systems" />

State mental health agencies (SMHAs) are responsible for funding and providing mental health services to more than 6 million persons every year. The SMHAs have information technology systems that are used to identify and count mental health clients and measure system performance. However States' information technology systems vary widely in terms of the types of information collected and their ability to link data between hospitals and community mental health providers. This report reviews the current status of mental health IT in the States and their efforts to improve these crucial systems.

            <description>
                <![CDATA[In 2005, clients discharged from short-term residential treatment were more likely to complete treatment than clients discharged from long-term residential, outpatient, or intensive outpatient treatment settings. Significant predictors of treatment completion or transfer among clients who were discharged from outpatient, intensive outpatient, long-term residential, or short-term residential treatment included: alcohol as the primary substance of abuse, less than daily use at admission, being over age 40, having 12 or more years of education, being White, referral to treatment by the criminal justice system, and being employed. Among clients who were discharged from intensive outpatient treatment, men were more likely than women to complete treatment or transfer to another program or facility; however, among clients who were discharged from outpatient or long-term residential treatment, women were more likely than men to complete treatment or transfer to another facility.

            <description>
                <![CDATA[In 2005, clients discharged from short-term residential treatment were more likely to complete treatment and less likely to drop out of treatment than clients discharged from long-term residential treatment. Treatment completion among clients discharged from short-term residential treatment was highest among those who reported primary alcohol abuse (66 percent) and lowest among those who reported primary stimulant abuse (46 percent). Treatment completion among clients discharged from long-term residential treatment was also highest among those reporting primary alcohol abuse (46 percent), but lowest among those reporting primary cocaine abuse (33 percent) or primary opiate abuse (35 percent). As educational level increased, the proportion of client discharges completing either short-term or long-term residential treatment increased.

            <title>The Role of Recovery Support Services in Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[Under the leadership of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), the substance use disorders treatment field is shifting from an acute care model of treatment to a chronic care approach, known as recovery-oriented systems of care. Recovery support services - services provided to people and families during the initiation, ongoing, and post-acute stages of their recovery - are an integral component of recovery-oriented systems of care. The purpose of this White Paper is twofold: (1) to describe our understanding of the present state of recovery support services; and (2) to lay a framework for future activities and products that will support the continuing development of recovery support services.

Among past month cigarette smokers aged 12 or older, 57.7 percent met the criteria for past month nicotine dependence. Persons aged 12 or older who were dependent on nicotine in the past month were more likely than those who were not nicotine dependent to have engaged in alcohol use (61.7 vs. 49.1 percent), binge alcohol use (40.1 vs. 20.1 percent), and heavy alcohol use (14.9 vs. 5.5 percent) in the past month. Persons aged 18 or older who were nicotine dependent in the past month were more than twice as likely as their counterparts who were not dependent on nicotine to have experienced serious psychological distress in the past year (21.2 vs. 9.4 percent).

From 1995 to 2005, the percentage of substance abuse treatment admissions for primary abuse of methamphetamine /amphetamine more than doubled from 4% to 9%. In 2005, about 1.8 million substance abuse treatment admissions were reported to SAMHSA's Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS). Of these, 169,500 were for primary methamphetamine /amphetamine abuse and 80,000 admissions were for secondary or tertiary methamphetamine/ amphetamine abuse. The duration of use of their primary drug before admission to treatment was, on average, six years less for persons admitted to treatment for primary methamphetamine /amphetamine abuse than it was for persons admitted for abuse of other primary substances. The criminal justice system was the principal source of referral for 49% of primary methamphetamine /amphetamine treatment admissions compared with 34% of admissions for other primary substances.

Among the six primary substances of abuse that dominate substance abuse treatment admissions reported to SAMHSA's Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS), three (marijuana, methamphetamine/amphetamines, and opiates other than heroin) increased between 1995 and 2005 and three decreased (alcohol, cocaine, and heroin). All the rates presented are for substance abuse treatment admissions with methamphetamine/amphetamines or marijuana as their primary substance of abuse.

                <![CDATA[SAMHSA recognizes the critical role of child care providers in facilitating a young child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development in collaboration with the child’s parent and significant caretakers. Increasingly, child care providers report difficulty working with children who are experiencing multiple challenges. Mental health consultants, trained to work with young children and their families, can serve as important resources to help the child care provider find effective ways to work with these children. A Training Guide for the Early Childhood Services Community offers a guide for trainers to use when teaching the early childhood community how to use the blueprint.

Admissions aged 50 or older accounted for about 184,400 (10 percent) of the 1.8 million treatment admissions reported to the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) in 2005. Alcohol was the most frequently reported primary substance of abuse for all admissions aged 50 or older, but the highest proportions of admissions reporting alcohol as the primary substance were among those aged 65 to 69 and 70 or older (76 percent each). Admissions aged 50 to 64 had more extensive substance abuse treatment histories than admissions aged 65 or older.

In 2005, over half (52 percent) of substance abuse treatment admissions aged 25 to 44 had never married, 28 percent were formerly married, and 20 percent were currently married.  By contrast, in the Nation as a whole, data from the 2000 Census for this age range show 25 percent had never married, 14 percent were formerly married, and 61 percent were currently married. Admissions who had never married were more likely than those who were formerly or currently married to report daily use of the primary substance (44 percent vs. 39 and 36 percent). Substance abuse treatment admissions who had never married were more likely to have extensive treatment histories and less likely to be entering treatment for the first time than other admissions aged 25 to 44 in 2005.

Part 1 also presents highlights from past epidemiological studies of co-occurring disorders and introduces three major national studies that are regularly used as sources for information on the nature and extent of co-occurring disorders in the United States. Part 2 presents detailed technical information on these three studies and is for audiences who are familiar with epidemiologic methods.
