2019 U.S. Substance Abuse Treatment Facility State Profiles

State profiles contain data from facilities reporting to the 2019 National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS). The survey collected information on facility location, characteristics, services offered, and client counts from public and private treatment centers across all 50 states, Washington D.C., and U.S. territories. Data is for the reference date of March 29, 2019.

• Study the relationship between types of services offered and facility characteristics reported in the N-SSATS.

Strengths

• Collected via the standardized N-SSATS survey, ensuring consistent reporting on facility characteristics and services.
• Includes client count data, which is collected every other year, for the specific reference date of March 29, 2019.
