Profile of Substance Use and Need for Treatment Services in Washington State
Summary
These profiles are a comprehensive collection of reports at the state and
county level that provide survey estimates of use, abuse, and need for substance
abuse treatment. In addition, estimated levels of need for services are compared to actual
services delivered for the total adult population and for various population
subgroups.
The information is available in two forms on the internet: 1) viewable,
downloadable, or printable summary profiles for the state and each county, and
2) a web-site with more detailed information. Information available in either
form includes:
estimates of the demographic characteristics of the state or the
respective county populations;
estimates of substance use, substance use disorder, and need for treatment
based on the Washington State Needs Assessment Household Survey;
services utilization data from the Division of Alcohol and Substance
Abuse's treatment reporting database; and
comparisons of need for services both county wide and by demographic
subgroup

reports, originally published in December 1999, were revised in March 2002.
