Government

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is a federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services that collects and publishes data on substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and treatment services. SAMHSA operates the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS), which captures admission and discharge information from treatment facilities nationwide, and the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), the primary source for data on substance abuse and mental health among Americans. The agency also maintains the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices and publishes annual reports on treatment facility capacity, demographic trends, and treatment outcomes.

TEDS Treatment Episode Data Set - Admissions

When someone checks into a public treatment program for drug or alcohol abuse, that admission gets recorded here. This dataset has about 1.6 million of those admissions from 2023. For each person, you know basic facts like their age, race, and whether they have insurance. More importantly, you see what they came in for: heroin, cocaine, meth, pills, alcohol, or combinations. You also see if they had jobs, if they'd been in treatment before, and whether they got medication-assisted treatment like methadone or suboxone. All the information is coded as numbers, so you need a key to read it, but once you do, you can see patterns in who's seeking treatment and for what.
