ABSTRACT: This chartbook is a compendium of tables presenting data relevant to behavioral health treatment demand and provider capacity to provide needed treatment. Data is presented from multiple sources: the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), the National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS), the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS), the Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) Substance Use Disorder Data Book, and quality measurement data submitted to the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services. Taken together, these tables provide a broad overview of issues facing the behavioral health treatment system.

Reports were prepared under contract #HHSP233201600021I between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, Office of Behavioral Health, Disability, and Aging Policy (BHDAP) and Mathematica.  For additional information about this subject, you can visit the BHDAP home page at https://aspe.hhs.gov/bhdap or contact the ASPE Project Officers at HHS/ASPE/BHDAP, Room 424E, H.H.

NOTE: Estimates are derived from the NSDUH, an annual survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States ages 12 years and older. NSDUH collects information from residents of households and noninstitutional group quarters (e.g., shelters, rooming houses, dormitories) but excludes homeless people who do not use shelters, military personnel on active duty, and residents of institutional group quarters such as jails and hospitals. Survey respondents were identified as having a SUD if their survey responses indicated that they met symptomatic criteria for substance dependence or abuse based on definitions found in the fourth edition of the DSM. The NSDUH survey was redesigned between 2014 and 2015. Estimates for the disorders related to the substances included in this table are comparable before and after the redesign.
  1. The difference between this estimate and the 2018 estimate is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.

Survey respondents were identified as having a SUD if their survey responses indicated that they met symptomatic criteria for substance dependence or abuse based on definitions found in the DSM-IV.
  1. Illicit drug use disorder is defined as meeting DSM-IV criteria for either dependence or abuse for 1 or more of the following illicit drugs: marijuana, cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, methamphetamine, or prescription psychotherapeutic drugs that were misused (i.e., pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives). The total number of individuals with a disorder related to illicit drugs is less than of the sum of individuals with a disorder related to each type of illicit drug because a given individual may have a disorder related to more than 1 illicit substance.
  2. The category Illicit drugs other than marijuanaexcludes respondents who used only marijuana but includes those who used marijuana in addition to other illicit drugs.
  3. The NSDUH survey was redesigned between 2014 and 2015. Estimates for marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and alcohol use disorders are comparable before and after the redesign. Estimates for the other substances are not comparable before and after the redesign.
  4. Respondents were classified as having an opioid use disorder if they met DSM-IV criteria for heroin use disorder, prescription pain reliever use disorder, or both in the past year.
  5. The difference between this estimate and the 2018 estimate is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.

SOURCE: Estimates from 2018 NSDUH Detailed Tables, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, 2019. Estimates for ages 12-17 are from Table 7.46B. Those for ages 18-25 are from Table 7.48B and those for ages 26 and older are from Table 7.49B. Available at https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/cbhsq-reports/NSDUHDetailedTabs2018R2/NSDUHDetTabsSect7pe2018.htm. Accessed on February 22, 2020.
NOTE: Estimates are derived from the NSDUH, an annual survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States ages 12 and older. NSDUH collects information from residents of households and noninstitutional group quarters (e.g., shelters, rooming houses, dormitories) but excludes homeless people who do not use shelters, military personnel on active duty, and residents of institutional group quarters, such as jails and hospitals. Survey respondents were identified as having a SUD if their survey responses indicated that they met symptomatic criteria for substance dependence or abuse based on definitions found in the DSM-IV.
  1. Illicit drug use disorder is defined as meeting DSM-IV criteria for either dependence or abuse for 1 or more of the following illicit drugs: marijuana, cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, methamphetamine, or prescription psychotherapeutic drugs that were misused (i.e., pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives). The total number of individuals with a disorder related to illicit drugs is less than of the sum of individuals with a disorder related to each type of illicit drug, because a given individual may have a disorder related to more than 1 illicit substance.
  2. The NSDUH survey was redesigned between 2014 and 2015. Estimates for marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and alcohol use disorders are comparable before and after the redesign. Estimates for the other substances are not comparable before and after the redesign.
  3. Respondents were classified as having an opioid use disorder if they met DSM-IV criteria for heroin use disorder, prescription pain reliever use disorder, or both in the past year.
  4. The category Illicit drugs other than marijuanaexcludes respondents who used only marijuana but includes those who used marijuana in addition to other illicit drugs.
  5. The difference between this estimate and the 2018 estimate is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.

NOTE: Estimates for illicit drugs or alcohol include persons who received treatment specifically for illicit drugs or alcohol as well as persons who received treatment for unspecified substances. Respondents could indicate multiple locations of treatment; thus, these response categories are not mutually exclusive.
  1. The NSDUH surveys only the noninstitutionalized population in the United States. Thus, individuals residing in jails and prisons are not surveyed. This category indicates individuals currently living in the community who received treatment in a jail or prison in the past 12 months.

NOTE: Inpatient and residential client counts represent the number of clients receiving services on March 31 of the indicated year (see Questions 28a and 29a in N-SSATS 2013 and Questions 29a and 30a in N-SSATS 2015 and 2017). Outpatient client counts represent the number of clients who received outpatient services in March of the indicated year and who were still enrolled in care at the facility where they received those services on March 31 (see Question 30a in N-SSATS 2013 and Question 31a in N-SSATS 2015 and 2017). Totalclients is the sum of inpatient, residential, and outpatient clients. Client counts reflect information reported by all facilities responding to the survey with no adjustment for nonresponse. The survey response rate was 94%, 92%, and 89% in 2013, 2015, and 2017, respectively.
  1. The N-SSATS survey is limited to providers that offer specialized treatment programs for SUDs. Primary care providers who provide SUD treatment services as part of a general health care program are not included in these estimates.
  2. Significance tests were not conducted for these estimates because N-SSATS surveys the universe of specialty SUD treatment facilities.

NOTE: The percentages of clients receiving methadone, buprenorphine, and injectable naltrexone are based on counts of clients receiving these services (as reported in TABLE B.2) relative to the total number of clients (indicated in TABLE B.4.a). Client counts reflect information reported by all facilities responding to the survey. The survey response rate was 94%, 92%, and 89% in 2013, 2015, and 2017, respectively.
  1. The N-SSATS survey is limited to providers that offer specialized treatment programs for SUDs. Primary care providers who provide SUD treatment services as part of a general health care program are not included in these estimates.
  2. Significance tests were not conducted for these estimates because N-SSATS surveys the universe of specialty SUD treatment facilities.

NOTE: Beneficiaries with a SUD were identified by using National Drug Codes; diagnosis codes; and select procedure, place of service, type of bill, and revenue center codes on Medicaid claims. Service types were determined based on National Drug Codes, procedure codes, and revenue codes. The sum of the percentages across service categories (Table A.11.a, Table A.11.b and Table A.11.c) within each state is not 100 because many Medicaid beneficiaries treated for a SUD received more than 1 treatment. See Report to Congress: T-MSIS SUD Data Book, page 39, for a description of the service categories.

(Based on analysis of the 2017 TAF version 2, Medicaid beneficiaries ages 12 and older who have full or comprehensive benefits.) Available at https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/data-and-systems/downloads/macbis/sud-data-book.pdf. Accessed on February 22, 2020.
NOTE: Beneficiaries with a SUD were identified by using National Drug Codes; diagnosis codes; and select procedure, place of service, type of bill, and revenue center codes on Medicaid claims. Service types were determined based on National Drug Codes, procedure codes, and revenue codes. The sum of the percentages across service categories (Table A.11.a, Table A.11.b and Table A.11.c) within each state is not 100 because many Medicaid beneficiaries treated for a SUD received more than 1 treatment. See Report to Congress: T-MSIS SUD Data Book, page 39, for a description of the service categories.
  1. Significance tests were not conducted for these estimates because the universe of Medicaid claims reported to T-MSIS was used to develop these estimates.

NOTE: The population in this table is survey respondents classified as needing substance use treatment based on meeting the criteria in the DSM-IV for an illicit drug or alcohol use disorder or received treatment for illicit drug or alcohol use at a specialty facility (i.e., drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility [inpatient or outpatient], hospital [inpatient only], or MH center). Respondents were classified as not perceiving a need for treatment if they responded to the survey that, at the time of their disorder, they did not think they needed treatment. Respondents were classified as making an effort to get treatment if they responded affirmatively to the survey question, "During the past 12 months, did you make an effort to get treatment or counseling for your use of [substance for which individual had associated SUD]?"
  1. For each row in this table the difference between the 2018 estimate and the estimates for each of the other years was tested for statistical significance at the 0.05 level. None of these differences is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.

NOTE: Survey respondents were classified as needing substance use treatment if they met the criteria for an illicit drug or alcohol use disorder as defined in the DSM-IV or received treatment for illicit drug or alcohol use at a specialty facility (i.e., drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility [inpatient or outpatient], hospital [inpatient only], or MH center). Needing but not receiving SUD treatment refers to respondents who are classified as needing illicit drug or alcohol treatment, but who did not receive such treatment at a specialty facility. Illicit drug use includes the misuse of prescription psychotherapeutics or the use of marijuana, cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or methamphetamine. Misuse of prescription psychotherapeutics is defined as use in any way not directed by a doctor, including use without a prescription of one's own; use in greater amounts, more often, or longer than prescribed; or use in any other way not directed by a doctor. Prescription psychotherapeutics do not include over-the-counter drugs. Differences among estimates reported here may not be statistically significant.

NOTE: On October 17, 2000, Congress passed the Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA), which permitted qualified physicians to apply for a waiver to treat narcotic dependence with schedules III, IV, and V controlled narcotic substances that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for that use. On July 22, 2016, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) of 2016 became law, expanding the individuals permitted to apply for these waivers to nurse practitioners, physician assistants, clinical nurse specialists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and certified nurse midwives. Waivers limit practitioners to treating 30, 100, or 275 patients, depending on the practitioner's request and qualifications.
  1. Significance tests were not conducted because the data used to develop this table includes all DATA-waivered practitioners.
  2. Other practitioners encompasses all nonphysician practitioners eligible for DATA waivers (that is, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, clinical nurse specialists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and certified nurse midwives).

NOTE: Initiation of Alcohol or Other Drug Abuse or Dependence Treatment measures the percentage of adolescents and adults who within 14 days of a SUD diagnosis initiated treatment in any of the following types of care: inpatient stay, outpatient visit, intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization service, telehealth, or MAT. Engagement in Alcohol or Other Drug Abuse or Dependence Treatment measures the percentage of adolescents and adults who within 34 days of initiating treatment received 2 or more additional alcohol or other drug abuse or dependence treatment services. Specifications for these measures are updated annually. These updates may affect the comparability of estimates across years. Estimates represent the average rate for the reporting health plans. More than 1,000 health plans that voluntarily submitted data are represented in these estimates.

Estimates of serious mental illness are a subset of estimates of any mental illness because serious mental illness is limited to persons with any mental illness that resulted in serious functional impairment. These mental illness estimates are based on a predictive model and are therefore not direct measures of diagnostic status. NSDUH does not produce estimates of any mental illness or serious mental illness for persons younger than age 18.

NOTE: The definition used for MDE is consistent with the DSM-V. Individuals were defined as having a past-year MDE if in the past 12 months they reported at least 5 or more of the following 9 symptoms nearly every day (except where noted) in the same 2-week period, and at least 1 of the symptoms was a depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities: (1) depressed mood most of the day; (2) markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all or almost all activities most of the day; (3) significant weight loss when not dieting, or weight gain, or decrease or increase in appetite; (4) insomnia or hypersomnia; (5) psychomotor agitation or retardation; (6) fatigue or loss of energy; (7) feelings of worthlessness; (8) diminished ability to think or concentrate, or indecisiveness; and (9) recurrent thoughts of death or recurrent suicide ideation. Recurrent thoughts of death or suicidal ideation did not need to occur nearly every day. Consistent with the DSM-V criteria, the NSDUH does not exclude MDEs that occurred exclusively in the context of bereavement. Respondents were classified as having suicidal thoughts based on self-reporting of suicidal thoughts in the past 12 months.

SOURCE: Estimates from 2018 NSDUH Detailed Tables, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, 2019. Estimates for the number of persons ages 12-17 with an MDE are from Table 11.2A. Estimates for number of persons age 12-17 with MDE and marijuana, alcohol, or binge alcohol use are from Table 11.6A. Percentages for each year and substance use category were calculated by dividing the number of persons with MDE and the use of each substance by the total number with MDE in the past year.

NOTE: The definition used for MDE is consistent with the DSM-V. Individuals were defined as having had a past-year MDE if in the past 12 months they reported at least 5 or more of the following 9 symptoms nearly every day (except where noted) in the same 2-week period, and at least 1 of the symptoms was a depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities: (1) depressed mood most of the day; (2) markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all or almost all activities most of the day; (3) significant weight loss when not dieting, or weight gain, or decrease or increase in appetite; (4) insomnia or hypersomnia; (5) psychomotor agitation or retardation; (6) fatigue or loss of energy; (7) feelings of worthlessness; (8) diminished ability to think or concentrate, or indecisiveness; and (9) recurrent thoughts of death or recurrent suicide ideation. Recurrent thoughts of death or suicidal ideation did not need to occur nearly every day. Consistent with the DSM-V criteria, the NSDUH does not exclude MDEs that occurred exclusively in the context of bereavement. Binge use of alcohol was defined for females as drinking 4 or more drinks on the same occasion (i.e., at the same time or within a couple of hours of each other) and for males as drinking 5 or more drinks on the same occasion.
  1. The difference between this estimate and the 2018 estimate is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.

SOURCE: Estimates from 2018 NSDUH Detailed Tables, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, 2019. Estimates for any mental illness are from Table 10.1A and for serious mental illness are from Table 10.3A. Estimates for any mental illness and a SUD and for serious mental illness and a SUD are from Table 10.6A. Percentages were calculated by dividing the number with a SUD and mental illness by the total number with mental illness for each year and age group.

NOTE: Any mental illness and serious mental illness aligned with the criteria of the DSM-IV were defined as having a diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder, other than a developmental disorder or SUD. Estimates of serious mental illness are a subset of estimates of any mental illness because serious mental illness is limited to persons with any mental illness that resulted in serious functional impairment. These mental illness estimates were based on a predictive model and thus were not direct measures of diagnostic status.

D. DESCRIPTION OF DATA SOURCES

This appendix briefly describes the five data sources that we used to develop the analyses in this report.

1. National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS)

The N-SSATS is an important source for analyzing trends in clients who are receiving specialty substance use disorder (SUD) treatment as well as trends in SUD treatment facility characteristics. It is an annual survey of the universe of specialty SUD treatment facilities. Counts of clients in care (on the last working day in March of each survey year) were collected annually through 2013 and biannually thereafter. Key strengths of the survey include its comprehensiveness in terms of the inclusion of facilities and the types of information collected. The N-SSATS, which includes all known specialty SUD treatment facilities in the United States, consistently achieves response rates greater than 90 percent and there is no adjustment for the roughly 10 percent of facilities that do not respond. This allows for detailed analysis of small states or subgroups.

However, N-SSATS data are limited in several ways. Specifically, the N-SSATS excludes nonspecialty providers, solo practitioners, and facilities that serve only criminal justice populations. The exclusion of solo practitioners might be particularly important to analysis of programs such as those implementing hub-and-spoke models, which seek to increase treatment access at nonspecialty providers. The exclusion of facilities that serve only criminal justice populations might limit the potential for analyzing programs for people exiting criminal justice institutions; however, many of these people might be served by facilities included in the N-SSATS. The N-SSATS does include information on whether facilities have programs that focus on criminal justice clients (excluding programs for those convicted of driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated).

The N-SSATS estimates presented in this report were directly extracted from N-SSATS reports and special tabulations.

2. National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS)

The N-MHSS is an annual census of facilities that provide mental health services. This survey collects information on the characteristics of the facilities in the U.S. mental health treatment delivery system and is an important source of data, as it is the only national and state-level survey of public and private facilities that provide mental health services. The data collected by the N-MHSS covers several topics including: what services facilities are providing, the characteristics of the facilities providing services, and the types of clients receiving services. These data allow for comparisons in service availability and utilization across states, facility characteristics, and client characteristics.

The major limitation of the N-MHSS is that it is a survey for a certain point in time, instead of representing annual totals. The survey is for a reference date and provides information based on the mental health treatment delivery system around that time. Additionally, the survey typically achieves responses rates around 90% and there is no adjustment for the roughly 10% of facilities that do not respond.

3. National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)

The NSDUH is designed to track the prevalence of SUDs in the United States by type of substance. The NSDUH is an annual survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population ages 12 and older in the United States. As a population survey, it provides the most comprehensive information about the number of people who met the diagnostic criteria for a SUD, who misused prescription opioids, and who accessed any SUD treatment service in the past year. The NSDUH includes a sufficient sample of respondents to develop state-level estimates when two years of survey data are combined; however, standard errors for estimates are often quite large for smaller states--which makes it impossible to identify small changes in a disorder's prevalence or treatment use.

There are a number of limitations to the NSDUH survey data. The NSDUH provides limited information on the type of substance use treatment services that respondents received and no information on the intensity of services received. The survey excludes people who are homeless and not in a shelter as well as those who are institutionalized, such as those residing in hospitals, residential treatment settings, jails, or prisons. However, the NSDUH includes individuals who have been released from prison or institutional care. Overall, estimates of the prevalence of alcohol and illicit drug use disorders based on the NSDUH reflect the household population only. Thus, the NSDUH is likely to understate national prevalence because groups with high prevalence are excluded. In addition to the exclusion of subpopulations that have a higher prevalence of SUDs (Office of Applied Studies 2002), the self-reported nature of the data collection likely results in some underreporting (Harrell 1997).

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) redesigned the NSDUH between the 2014 and 2015 surveys. Due to methodological changes associated with the redesign, estimates from 2015 and later years are not comparable to earlier years. Updates to the prescription drug questions were a key component of the redesign (CHBSQ 2015):

  • Beginning in 2015, questions about prescription drugs were restructured to collect more information on the use and misuse of specific prescription drugs. The definition of misuse was also changed, with respondents being given more specific examples of misuse. In particular, before 2015, the definition of misuse did not include overuse of prescribed medication.

  • Methamphetamine was included as a prescription stimulant before 2015. However, most methamphetamine that is used in the United States is manufactured illegally, not prescribed. Therefore, beginning in 2015, a new methamphetamine module was added to address both prescription and nonprescription use.

  • To help respondents categorize substances, the term "Molly" was added to questions about Ecstasy use in the hallucinogens module and the use of felt tip pens and computer keyboard cleaner were added to the inhalants' module.

The redesign also affected the abuse and dependence modules in the following key ways:

  • The logic for routing individuals to the substance abuse and dependence modules was updated.

  • Sedative withdrawal was updated to require two or more symptoms of withdrawal instead of one or more.

  • Dependence and abuse questions were added for methamphetamine.

The NSDUH estimates presented in this report were directly extracted from NSDUH reports prepared by SAMHSA or from summarized data presented in those reports.

4. Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS)

Relative to the N-SSATS and the NSDUH, the TEDS provides more detailed information on treatment services and the characteristics of clients at admission and discharge. The TEDS aggregates admissions data collected in individual state administrative data systems. States collect these data to monitor their SUD treatment systems. Reporting requirements can vary substantially by state. Generally, facilities that receive public funds or that are licensed or certified by a state substance abuse agency are included in state administrative systems. The universe of their admissions is reported to the TEDS. The scope of facilities that report to the TEDS in each state may change over time.

5. Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) SUD Data Book

The SUD Data Book is a report to Congress that provides useful information related to the prevalence and treatment of SUDs in state Medicaid populations. The SUD Data Book focuses on Medicaid and Children�s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) enrollees age 12 or older who have been diagnosed with a SUD. It includes information on enrollment categories; the types of SUD treatment services received; the setting where services were received; the payment models for services received; the utilization of services; and whether treatments in inpatient or residential settings were followed up in an outpatient, home-based, or community-based setting within 30 days of discharge.

The data in the SUD Data Book comes from the T-MSIS Analytic Files (TAF), which are constructed from monthly data reported by state Medicaid programs to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on Medicaid and CHIP enrollments, service utilization, payments, providers, and other information. The TAF, and therefore the SUD Data Book, have limitations due to the newness of the T-MSIS reporting system and data quality issues. The quality of the SUD Data Book is expected to improve over time as the T-MSIS reporting improves.

 


Analyses of Disability, Aging and Long-Term Care Policy and Data

These reports summarize results from BHDAP work examining recent trends in mental health (MH) and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment needs, unmet needs, and system capacity to provide treatment. The reports synthesize data from a variety of existing sources including the National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS), the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS), and quality measurement data submitted to the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services. Overall, results indicate increasing numbers of individuals with unmet need for MH treatment, very high utilization rates for inpatient and residential MH treatment, and low rates of follow-up for individuals after hospitalization for mental illness. Taken together, these findings suggest that the MH treatment system may not have sufficient capacity to treat current rates of treatment need. The reports also highlight recent increases in the delivery of SUD treatment provided in private doctor’s offices and specialty outpatient settings, and the delivery of medication assisted treatment. Analyses also suggest that SUD prevalence rates have declined among adolescents and young adults, while rates have remained constant, or increased, among adults aged 26 or older. However, rates of unmet need for SUD treatment also remain very high.
