This is one in a series of brief
state-based reports intended to give the reader
a quick overview of substance abuse and mental health
issues within a single state. The data derive principally
from national surveys conducted by the Office of
Applied Studies, a component of the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Sources for all data used in this report appear
at the end.
Prevalence of Illicit Substance
and Alcohol Use in Iowa
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,
Iowa has been among the 10 States with the lowest
rates on the following measure:

Iowa
is among those states with the lowest
rates of the following: |

| Past Month Marijuana

| Past Month Use of
an IIicit Drug Other than Marijuana |
12+
18-25 |
| Past Year Nonmedical
Use of Prescription Pain Relievers |
26+ |
|
It is worth noting that over the same time period,
Iowa has also been among the 10 States with the
highest rates of past month binge alcohol use for
the state population age 12 and older, for individuals
age 12 to 20, as well as for the population age
26 and older.
Drug Abuse and Dependency
in Iowa
Questions in NSDUH are used to classify persons
as being dependent on or abusing specific substances
based on criteria specified in the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition
(DSM-IV) (American Psychiatric Association, 1994).
As might be inferred from Iowa’s ranking among
the states with the lowest rates of past month illicit
drug use, Iowa has also consistently ranked among
the 10 States with the lowest rates of past year
drug dependence or abuse for the State population
age 12 and older, as well as for the population
age 12 to 17. In 2005 2006, Iowa ranked among the
10 States with the lowest rates on this measure
for all age groups.
Conversely, rates of alcohol dependence or abuse
have been at or above the national rates across
all survey years. This is particularly true of the
State population age 12 to 17 where rates of past
year alcohol dependence or abuse have consistently
been among the 10 highest in the country.
Addiction Treatment Facilities
in Iowa
According to the National Survey of Substance Abuse
Treatment Services (N-SSATS), treatment program.
In addition, 13 physicians and the number of treatment
facilities in Iowa has remained relatively constant
and, in 2006, there were 125 specialty treatment
facilities in Iowa. Of these, the majority (108
or 86%) were private nonprofit, and six were private
for-profit. Although facilities may offer more than
one modality of care, the majority of facilities
in 2006 (113 or 90%) offered some form of outpatient
treatment. Residential treatment was offered by
28 facilities and four facilities offered an opioid
treatment program. In addition, 13 physicians and
four treatment programs were certified to provide
buprenorphine treatment for opiate addiction.
In 2006, 82 percent all Iowa facilities (102) received
some form of Federal, State, county, or local government
funds, and 97 facilities had agreement or contracts
with managed care organizations for the provision
of substance abuse treatment services.
Addiction Treatment in Iowa
State 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).
In the 2006 N-SSATS survey, Iowa showed a one-day
total of 7,229 clients in treatment, the majority
of whom (6,660 or 92%) were in outpatient treatment.
Of the total number of clients in treatment on this
date, 793 (10%) were under the age of 18.
Across the last 13 years, there has been a steady
decline in the number of admissions mentioning alcohol
as a substance of abuse and increases in marijuana
(from 36% in 1992 to 54% in 2006) and methamphetamine
(from 4% in 1992 to 26% in 2006).
Across the years for which TEDS data are available,
Iowa has seen a substantial shift in the constellation
of problems present at treatment admission. Alcohol-only
admissions have declined from 53 percent of all
admissions in 1992 to 28 percent in 2005. Concomitantly,
drug-only admissions have increased from 6 percent
in 1992 to 23 percent in 2006.
Unmet Need for Substance Abuse
Treatment in Iowa
NSDUH defines unmet 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.
Iowa has consistently ranked among the 10 States
with the lowest unmet need for drug treatment for
the population age 12 and older, as well as for
the population age 12 to 17 (Chart 5). In 2005 2006,
the rate of unmet need for drug treatment for all
population groups was among the lowest in the country.
Similar to the rates of alcohol dependence and abuse,
rates of unmet need for alcohol treatment in Iowa
have been at or above the national rate and in 2005-2006
were among the highest in the country for all population
groups except those age 26 and older.
