 First-Time & Repeat Admissions Aged 18 to 25 to Substance Abuse
Treatment: 2006
The 2006 Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) provides demographic
characteristics and reasons for admission for substance abuse treatment
at facilities that receive some public funding. The federal Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reviewed the 2006 TEDS to
assess geographic variations in admissions and evaluate demographic
differences including referrals and access to health insurance.
About 22% of all admissions for substance abuse treatment were for young
adults between the ages of 18 and 25 in 2006; however, in the Northeast
and Midwest the majority of admissions (61% and 52% respectively) were
for repeat treatment, but readmissions were 31% in the South and 40% in
the West.
