Mental Health Screenings and Trauma-Related Counseling in Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities

The N-SSATS Report - Mental Health Screenings and Trauma-Related Counseling in Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities

Highlights:

In 2009, more than half (62 percent) of all substance abuse treatment facilities provided brief mental health screenings that could be used to identify clients in need of trauma services; less than half (42 percent) provided full diagnostic mental health assessments. Facilities that primarily focused on a mix of mental health and substance abuse treatment services were more likely than facilities with other primary focuses to report using trauma counseling "always or often" (30 vs. 16 to 26 percent). Facilities that were operated by tribal governments (55 percent) were more likely than facilities than all other types to offer domestic violence services.
