Description
Summary:The Data Note Series Is edited by Dr Bridget Grant, Chief of Biometry at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), USA. Data from a 1988 enumeration of Mental health organisations Mid separate psychiatric services of non‐Federal general hospitals in the United States were used to derive estimates of the number of person with alcohol and/or drug abuse (substance use) disorders in these organisations. For all organizations combined, the percent of persons with substance use disorders were 8% each in inpatient, residential treatment, and outpatient care and only 3% in partial cars program elements. However, within type of program element, there was variation according to type of organisation. It should be noted that the percent of persons with substance use in menial health organisations would be even greater than reported if: (1) the universe of mental health organizations surveyed was expanded; (2) the reporting period included persons receiving services throughout the year rather than on a single day; and (3) provision was made for including persons with a secondary diagnosis of substance abuse.
