The NSDUH Report: Substance Use Treatment among Women of Childrearing Age
This report, based on SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health, presents data indicating that an annual average of 6.3 million women aged 18 to 49 needed treatment for a substance use problem. A large percentage neither received treatment nor perceived a need for it; a much smaller percentage felt they needed treatment, but did not receive it.
The report focuses on substance use treatment among women of childrearing age (18 to 49), for whom substance use may pose particular risks to vulnerable offspring.
