NOTE: Received Substance Use Treatment includes treatment received at any location, such as a hospital (inpatient), rehabilitation facility (inpatient or outpatient), mental health center, emergency room, private doctor’s office, self-help group, or prison/jail.
NOTE: Substance use disorder (SUD) estimates in 2020 are based on criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5). SUD and related estimates are not comparable between 2020 and prior years of NSDUH, because prior years’ estimates were based on DSM-IV criteria. The 2020 estimates reflect additional methodological changes for the 2020 NSDUH. Due to these changes, significance testing between 2020 and prior years was not performed. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details on these changes.
1 Estimates include people who received treatment specifically for illicit drugs or alcohol, as well as people who received treatment for unspecified substance(s).

NOTE: Received Substance Use Treatment includes treatment received at any location, such as a hospital (inpatient), rehabilitation facility (inpatient or outpatient), mental health center, emergency room, private doctor’s office, self-help group, or prison/jail.
NOTE: Substance use disorder (SUD) estimates in 2020 are based on criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5). SUD and related estimates are not comparable between 2020 and prior years of NSDUH, because prior years’ estimates were based on DSM-IV criteria. The 2020 estimates reflect additional methodological changes for the 2020 NSDUH. Due to these changes, significance testing between 2020 and prior years was not performed. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details on these changes.
1 Estimates include people who received treatment specifically for illicit drugs or alcohol, as well as people who received treatment for unspecified substance(s).

NOTE: Respondents were classified as needing illicit drug use treatment if they met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) criteria for an illicit drug use disorder or received treatment for illicit drug use at a specialty facility (i.e., drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility [inpatient or outpatient], hospital [inpatient only], or mental health center). Questions on virtual substance use treatment were added in Quarter 4 of 2020. Estimates in this table do not include data from these questions. Data on virtual substance use treatment are included at the end of this section. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details.
NOTE: Illicit drug use disorder (IDUD) estimates in 2020 are based on criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5). IDUD and related estimates are not comparable between 2020 and prior years of NSDUH, because prior years’ estimates were based on DSM-IV criteria. The 2020 estimates reflect additional methodological changes for the 2020 NSDUH. Due to these changes, significance testing between 2020 and prior years was not performed.

NOTE: Respondents were classified as needing alcohol use treatment if they met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) criteria for an alcohol use disorder or received treatment for alcohol use at a specialty facility (i.e., drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility [inpatient or outpatient], hospital [inpatient only], or mental health center). Questions on virtual substance use treatment were added in Quarter 4 of 2020. Estimates in this table do not include data from these questions. Data on virtual substance use treatment are included at the end of this section. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details.
NOTE: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) estimates in 2020 are based on criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5). AUD and related estimates are not comparable between 2020 and prior years of NSDUH, because prior years’ estimates were based on DSM-IV criteria. The 2020 estimates reflect additional methodological changes for the 2020 NSDUH. Due to these changes, significance testing between 2020 and prior years was not performed. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details on these changes.

NOTE: Respondents were classified as needing substance use treatment if they met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) criteria for an illicit drug or alcohol use disorder or received treatment for illicit drug or alcohol use at a specialty facility (i.e., drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility [inpatient or outpatient], hospital [inpatient only], or mental health center). Questions on virtual substance use treatment were added in Quarter 4 of 2020. Estimates in this table do not include data from these questions. Data on virtual substance use treatment are included at the end of this section. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details.
NOTE: Substance use disorder (SUD) estimates in 2020 are based on criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5). SUD and related estimates are not comparable between 2020 and prior years of NSDUH, because prior years’ estimates were based on DSM-IV criteria. The 2020 estimates reflect additional methodological changes for the 2020 NSDUH. Due to these changes, significance testing between 2020 and prior years was not performed. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details on these changes.
1 Perceived Need for Substance Use Treatment includes people who did not receive but felt they needed illicit drug or alcohol use treatment, as well as people who received treatment at a location other than a specialty facility but felt they needed additional treatment.
