2010 National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS) Annual Report

This report presents results from the 2010 National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS), a census of all known mental health treatment facilities within the U.S. and territories. N-MHSS collects facility-specific characteristics, types of services and specially-designed programs/services offered, and payment/funding sources.

This report presents an evaluation of the coverage, overlap, biases, strengths, and weaknesses of three sources of data on the receipt of specialty substance use disorder treatment. These sources are the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), and the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS). It compares specialty substance use disorder treatment measures. This includes numbers and characteristics of persons treated in a given year, single-day treatment counts, numbers of admissions in a given year, and estimates of the numbers of persons who needed substance use disorder treatment but did not receive it. This report includes data from the 2005 through 2010 NSDUHs; 2007 through 2009 N-SSATS; and 2007 through 2009 TEDS. Results are shown by substance treated, age, race/ethnicity, and employment status.
