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

of the following: |

Abuse and Dependency in Maryland
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).
On the global measure of any past year dependence
on or abuse of illicit drugs or alcohol, Maryland’s
rates have been at or below the national averages
for all survey years. Notably, in 2005–2006,
the rates of past year alcohol dependence
were among the lowest in the country for all age
groups.
Substance Abuse Treatment
Facilities in Maryland
According to the National Survey of Substance Abuse
Treatment Services (N-SSATS), the number of
treatment facilities in Maryland has increased
from 345 in 2002 to 371 in 2006, the most recent
year for which data are available.
Although the addiction treatment facilities
may offer more than one modality of care, in 2006
the majority of addiction treatment facilities
in Maryland (313 of 371 or 84%) offered
some form of outpatient addiction treatment.
And additional 82 facilities offer residential care,
and 51 facilities offer an opioid treatment
program. An additional 286 physicians and
97 addiction treatment programs
are certified to provide buprenorphine treatment
for opioid addiction.
Addiction Treatment in Maryland
Maryland state addiction 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). In the
2006 N-SSATS survey, Maryland showed a one-day total
of 35,224 clients in addiction treatment, the majority
of whom (32,683 or 93%) were in outpatient
addiction treatment. Of the total number
of clients in addiction treatment on this date,
2,201 (6%) were under the age of 18.
Since 1992, there has been a steady increase in
the annual number of admissions to addiction treatment
facilities from 58,000 in 1992 to 65,000 in 2006
(the most recent year for which data are available).
Across the last 15 years, there has been a steady
decline in the number of admissions mentioning
alcohol as a substance of abuse and a concomitant
increase in the number of admissions for heroin
use.
Across the years for which TEDS data are available,
Maryland has seen a substantial shift in the constellation
of problems present at addiction treatment admission.
Alcohol-only admissions have declined from 35 percent
of all admissions in 1992 to 20 percent in 2006.
Concomitantly, drug-only admissions have increased
from 24 percent in 1992 to 41 percent in 2005.
Unmet Need for Addiction Treatment
in Maryland
NSDUH defines unmet treatment 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 Maryland, the
rates for unmet alcohol treatment needs for all
age groups and across all survey years have remained
at or below the national levels.
