admissions.
According to the 2006 N-SSATS survey:

treatment, the majority of whom (10,144 or 85.9 percent) were
in outpatient treatment. Of the total number of clients in
treatment on this date, 755 (6.4 percent) were under the age
of 18.
According to 2003–2006 TEDS data:
• Adolescent males accounted for 68.6 percent (2,751)
of the 4,011 total adolescent substance abuse treatment admissions.
• Of the total male admissions, 44.4 percent were drug
treatment admissions, 45.7 percent were alcohol and drug treatment,
4.5 percent were alcohol treatment, and 5.4 percent did not

NSDUH 2003–2006 estimates that more than 1.16 million
adolescents needed but did not receive treatment for illicit
drug problems and more than 1.3 million needed but did not
receive treatment for alcohol problems. NSDUH defines “unmet
treatment need” as an individual who meets the criteria
for abuse of or dependence on illicit drugs or alcohol according
to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,
4th edition (DSM IV), but who has not received specialty treatment
for that problem in the past year.
