Produced by SAMHSA's Drug and Alcohol Services Information System, the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) is conducted annually and is designed to collect data on the location, characteristics, services offered, and number of clients in treatment at alcohol and drug abuse facilities (both public and private) throughout the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and other U.S. jurisdictions. The geographic data included in N-SSATS are state, county, Federal Information Processing Standards state and county codes, metropolitan statistical area, core-based statistical area, census region, and census division. The 2010 N-SSATS data and documentation files have been released for and download and online analysis through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Data Archive (SAMHDA) website. SAMHSA has also released a report titled, National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS): 2010 Data on Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities (8.43 MB). The report summarizes national and state-level data on programs and services provided in substance abuse treatment facilities in 2010 and presents trends in client and facility characteristics.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Data Archive (SAMHDA) provides easy access to current and comprehensive data on substance abuse and mental health. All datasets are available for download directly from the SAMHDA website in multiple file formats. In addition, SAMHDA offers online data analysis, tools to customize graphs and charts, interactive maps, bibliographies, and user support.
