| Rhode
Island Highest Rate of Illicit Drug Abuse in 2006 |
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)
generates state-level estimates for 23 measures
of substance use and mental health problems for
four age groups: the entire state population over
age 12 (12+); individuals age 12 to 17; individuals
age 18 to 25; and individuals age 26 and older (26+).
Since State estimates of substance use and abuse
were first generated using the combined 2002–2003
NSDUHs and continuing until the most recent State
estimates based on the combined 2005– 2006
surveys, rates in Rhode Island have been among the
lowest in the country on the following measures:

Substance Abuse Treatment
Facilities in Rhode Island
According to the National Survey of Substance
Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), the
number of treatment facilities in Rhode
Island has remained constant at approximately
57 facilities. Of these, 43 facilities (75%) are
private nonprofit and 12 facilities are private
for-profit.
Although facilities may offer more than one modality
of care, in 2006, 49 of 57 substance abuse
facilities in Rhode Island offered some
form of outpatient care. An additional 16 facilities
offered some form of residential care; 19 facilities
offered an opioid treatment program;
and 42 physicians and 21 programs were certified
to provide buprenorphine treatment.
In 2006, 42 of 57 facilities (70%) received some
form of Federal, State, county, or local government
funds, and 40 facilities (70%) had agreements or
contracts with managed care organizations for the
provision of substance abuse treatment services.
Addiction Treatment in Rhode Island
Rhode Island state addiction treatment
data for substance use disorders are derived from
two primary sources—an annual one-day census
in N-SSATS and annual treatment admissions from
the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS).4 In the 2006
N-SSATS survey, Rhode Island showed a total of 6,415
clients in treatment, 6,026 of whom (94%) were in
outpatient treatment. Of the total number of clients
in treatment on this date, 251 (4%) were under the
age of 18.
Across the last 15 years, there has been a steady
decline in the number of admissions mentioning alcohol
or cocaine as abused substances and a concomitant
increase in mentions of opiates
other than heroin.
Across the years for which TEDS data are available,
Rhode Island has seen a substantial shift in the
constellation of problems present at treatment admission.
Alcohol in combination with other drugs
has declined, from over 53 percent of all admissions
in 1992 to just over 29 percent in 2006. Concomitantly,
drug-only admissions have doubled, from 21 percent
in 1992 to 46 percent in 2006.
Unmet Need for Addiction Treatment
in Rhode Island
NSDUH defines unmet addiction treatment
need as an individual who meets the criteria
for abuse of or dependence on illicit drugs or alcohol
according to the DSM-IV, but who has not received
specialty treatment for that problem in the past
year.
Rates of unmet drug treatment need in Rhode
Island have remained above the national
rates for all age groups and across all survey years;
however, the rates for individuals age 18 to 25
have consistently been among the 10 highest in the
country.
Similarly, rates of unmet treatment
need for alcohol use have been
consistently above the national rates for all age
groups and across all survey years.
