Highlights
- SAMHSA's
annual Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) provides data on completion
rates by race, gender, primary substance of abuse, and type of residential
treatment for those with discharge information provided by the States
for their specialty substance abuse treatment facilities.
- In
2005, clients discharged from short-term residential treatment (30 days
or less) were more likely to complete treatment than those discharged
from long-term residential treatment (57% vs. 38%).
- Among
short-term residential treatment discharges, a higher proportion of
American Indian/Alaska Natives (63%) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (60%)
completed treatment than Whites (57%), Blacks (55%), or Hispanics (52%).
- Clients
who reported alcohol as their primary drug of abuse were more likely
to complete treatment among residential short-term discharges (66%)
and long-term discharges (46%) than those with other primary drugs of
abuse.
- Discharged
clients who reported stimulants as their primary drug of abuse were
the least likely to complete short-term residential treatment (46%)
and were almost as likely (19%) as those reporting opiates (21%) as
their primary drug to drop out of short-term residential treatment.
- Treatment
completion among clients discharged from long-term residential treatment
was lowest among those reporting cocaine abuse (33%) or opiate abuse
(35%) as their primary drug of abuse.
