Spending Estimates for Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Expenditure reports from the Spending Estimates Project |
| This Project provides the national spending estimates for mental health (MH) services and substance abuse (SA) treatment. The MH/SA estimates are derived from the national health expenditures (the National Health Accounts for all health) that are developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The estimates are created for mental health (MH), substance abuse (SA), and MHSA combined, and are compared with all health care expenditures. Given the prevalence of morbidifty and mortality related to mental and substance use disorders and their wider societal impacts, it is important to know how much the United States is investing in treatment of mental and substance use disorders. |
