Treatment in Maine |
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 Maine have been among the lowest
in the country on the following measures:

Abuse and Dependency in Maine
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).
Rates of alcohol abuse and dependence in Maine have
been variable over time but have generally remained
close to the national rates for the population age
12 and older.
Rates of illicit drug dependence or abuse, however,
have generally remained above the national rates
for three population groups: those 12 and older;
those age 12 to 17; and those age 18 to 25.

Substance Abuse Treatment
Facilities in Maine
According to the annual National Survey of Substance
Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS),3 the number
of facilities in Maine providing substance
abuse treatment has increased from 177
in 2002, to 191 in 2006. Private for-profit facilities
increased from 65 in 2002, to 90 in 2006 and now
comprise almost half of all addiction treatment
facilities. The number of private nonprofit
facilities decreased from 100 in 2002, to 90 in
2006.
Although addiction treatment facilities may offer
more than one modality of care, 89 percent (169
facilities) provided some form of outpatient
addiction treatment in 2006, and 14 percent
(27 facilities) offered some form of residential
addiction treatment care. Seven addiction
treatment facilities offered opioid treatment,
and 71 physicians are certified to provide buprenorphine
treatment.
In 2006, 37 percent of all facilities (71) received
some form of Federal, State, county, or local government
funds, and 106 addiction treatment facilities (55%)
had agreements or contracts with managed care organizations
for the provision of substance abuse treatment
services.
Addiction Treatment in Maine
State addictiom 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, on
March 31, 2006, Maine showed a one-day census of
7,833 clients in treatment. Of these, 874 (approximately
11%) were under the age of 18. The majority of clients
(95%) were in outpatient addiction treatment.
Since 2002, there has been a steady increase
in the annual number of addiction treatment admissions
in Maine, from 9,125 in 2002 to 13,683 in 2005 (the
most recent year for which data are available).
The percent of admissions mentioning particular
drugs or alcohol at the time of admission. Across
the last 14 years, there has been a steady decline
in the number of admissions mentioning alcohol as
a substance of abuse, and concomitant increases
in the mentions of marijuana, cocaine, and heroin.
Maine has also seen a relatively steady
increase in the number of treatment admissions who
report using two or more substances prior to treatment
admissions.
Similarly, Maine has seen a substantial increase
in treatment admissions for illicit drugs only,
from 18 percent in 1992 to 44 percent in 2005.
Unmet Need for Addiction Treatment
in Maine
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.
Rates of individuals needing and not receiving treatment
for drug use in Maine have generally remained
above the national average. This is particularly
true for individuals age 18 to 25 where Maine has
consistently ranked among the 10 States with the
highest rates of unmet need.
On the other hand, rates of individuals needing
and not receiving treatment for alcohol
use have generally remained at or below
the national average. The one exception was the
rate for unmet addiction treatment need for individuals
age 12 to 17, which has remained above the national
average.
