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
the age of 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,
Alabama has ranked among the ten states with the
lowest rates on the following measures.

Abuse and Dependency in Alabama
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).
In Alabama, rates of past year dependence on or
abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs have been generally
below the national rates. On the global measure
of any dependence on or abuse of illicit drugs or
alcohol, Alabama has generally ranked among those
states with the lowest rates in the country.

Substance Abuse Treatment
Facilities in Alabama
According to the 2006 National Survey of Substance
Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS)3 annual
surveys, the number of addiction treatment
facilities in Alabama was 138. Of these,
66 were private for-profit and 43 were private non-profit.
The remainder were owned/operated by federal, State
or local government(s). Since 2002, the number of
treatment facilities has remained relatively stable.
Although facilities may offer more than one modality
of care, in 2006 the majority of addiction
treatment facilities (114 or 83%) offered
some form of outpatient treatment. Another 38 facilities
offered some form of residential care; 19 facilities
offered an opioid treatment program;
and 104 physicians and 18 programs were certified
to provide bupenorphine for opiate addiction.
In 2006, 56% of all facilities (77) received some
form of Federal, State, county or local government
funds, and 39 addiction treatment facilities
had agreements or contracts with managed care organizations
for the provision of substance abuse treatment
services.
Addiction Treatment in Alabama
State treatment data for substance use disorders
are derived from two primary sources—an annual one-day
census in N-SSATS and annual addiction treatment
admissions from the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS).4
In the 2006 N-SSATS survey, Alabama showed a total
of 14,953 clients in addiction treatment, the majority
of whom (13,855 or 93%) were in outpatient
addiction treatment. Of the total number
of clients in treatment on this date, 1,541 (1%)
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 and concomitant increases in the mentions
of methamphetamine and opiates other than heroin.
Across the years for which TEDS data are available,
Alabama has seen a substantial shift in the constellation
of problems present at treatment admission. Alcohol-only
admissions have declined from 29 % of all admissions
in 1993 to 14% in 2006. Drug-only admissions have
increased from 17% in 1993 to 48% in 2006.
Unmet Need for Addiction Treatment
in Alabama
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.
In Alabama, rates of unmet need for alcohol
treatment have generally been below the
national rate, and for both the state population
12 and older and the population 26 and older, these
rates have been among the lowest in the country.
Rates for unmet drug addiction treatment
have been somewhat more variable than the comparable
rates for alcohol treatment need. These have varied
from the national rate to the lowest in the country
for three age groups (12+, 12-17, and 18-25) in
2005-2006.
