In 2003-2004, 6.1% of youths aged 12 to 17 were
classified as needing treatment for alcohol use and 5.4%
were classified as needing treatment for illicit drug use. The key
findings are as follows:
-
Of the youths who were classified as needing treatment
for alcohol use, 7.2% received specialty alcohol
use treatment; 9.1% of the youths who were classified as needing treatment for illicit drug use received
specialty illicit drug use treatment
-
Among the youths who were classified as needing treatment,
very few of the youths who had not received treatment perceived an
unmet need for treatment (2.2% for alcohol use treatment and 3.5%
for illicit drug use treatment)
