NSDUH/NHSDA | SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), formerly called the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) is the primary source of national information on the prevalence, patterns, and consequences of drug and alcohol use and abuse in the general U.S. civilian non institutionalized population, age 12 and older. The NHSDA reports provide national statistics on the prevalence, demographic, correlates, perceived harmfulness, and other measures of alcohol, tobacco, non medical use of psychotherapeutics, and illicit drug use. State estimates of drug use are now available in this series. |
DASIS | The
Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS)

admissions. DASIS provides information on substance abuse treatment
facility location, characteristics, services offered and utilization. DASIS
also provides data on the demographic and substance abuse characteristics of admissions

Episode Data Set (TEDS) and the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services
(N-SSATS) [formerly called the Uniform Facility Data Set (UFDS)]. For
