Alcohol Dependence or Abuse in Substate Areas (State treatment planning areas)

The NSDUH Report:  Alcohol Dependence or Abuse in Substate Areas (State treatment planning areas)

  • HTML format (contains the data table that was used to construct each figure; this data table is not found in printed or PDF version)

Highlights:

  • By combining three years of data from SAMHSA's National Surveys on Drug Use and Health from 2002 to 2004, SAMHSA's Office of Applied Studies was able to produce estimates of alcohol dependence or abuse for subState areas.
  • These subState areas may be regions, counties, or other geographic areas that each State has identified as their State treatment planning areas, that is, areas for the purpose of allocating the substance abuse treatment block grant funds from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). 
  • In 2002 to 2004, past month alcohol dependence or abuse varied from a low of 5.4% in Southern Utah and in North Central Florida to a high of 13.5% in South Central Wyoming.
  • Of the 15 State treatment planning areas with the highest rates of past year alcohol dependence or abuse, most were in the States in the Northern Midwest.
