Does NSDUH collect data about the utilization of mental health services by a specific program?

NSDUH does not currently collect data by a specific program. Other SAMHSA surveys may have the information you are looking for.

The National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS) surveys public and private mental health specialty facilities. This includes psychiatric hospitals; nonfederal general hospitals with separate psychiatric units; U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers; residential treatment centers for children and adults; community mental health centers; outpatient, day treatment, or partial hospitalization mental health facilities; and other multi-setting mental health facilities.

The Mental Health Client-Level Data (MH-CLD) gives information on patients of some mental health treatment facilities. It provides information on their mental health diagnoses, mental health treatment services and outcomes, and demographic and substance use characteristics. Only those in facilities that report to individual state administrative data systems are included.

The National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) is an annual census of treatment facilities. Information is collected on the location, organization, structure, services, and utilization of substance abuse treatment facilities in the United States.
