This Short Report, The
NSDUH Report: State Estimates of Persons Needing But Not Receiving
Substance Abuse Treatment, is based on SAMHSA's National
Survey on Drug Use and Health, formerly called the National Household Survey
on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) conducted by the Office of Applied
Studies (OAS) in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA). SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NHSDA/NSDUH)
is the primary source of 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/NSDUH
also provides estimates for drug use by state.
