Highlights

• Based on SAMHSA's National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS), facilities with a specially designed treatment program were likely to offer related services.  For example, those with a specially designed treatment program or group for clients with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders were more likely to offer mental health assessment and pharmacotherapy; those  for pregnant women were more likely to provide social services, child care assistance, and domestic violence education; and those for persons with HIV/AIDS to provide testing services, e.g., for HIV, TB, hepatitis, and STD. 

• Testing services differed more than other types of services by type of facility ownership.  Tribal government facilities were least likely to provide blood alcohol testing and drug/alcohol urine screening.  Private for-profit facilities were least likely to provide testing for hepatitis, HIV, STD, and TB.

• Facilities with a managed care contract were more likely than those without a managed care contract to offer mental health assessment (53 vs. 34 percent), family therapy (86 vs. 68 percent), and pharmacotherapy (50 vs. 32 percent).
