Do you have a teen
or pre-teen loved one that suffers from drug and/or alcohol abuse?
"Underage drinking presents an enormous public health issue. Alcohol
is the drug of choice among children and adolescents. Annually, about 5,000
youth under age 21 die from motor vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries,
and homicides and suicides that involve underage drinking."
"In 2006, 1.4 million youth ages 12 to 17 needed treatment for an alcohol
problem. Of this group, only 101,000 of them received any treatment at a
specialty facility."

OHIO

Cincinnati Suburban Teens Getting Hooked On Heroin
Adolescence (12 to 17 years) is a critical and vulnerable
stage of human development, during which males and females
experience different biological, social, and cognitive changes.
During this life stage, millions of adolescents experiment
with substance use and engage in behaviors that can affect
healthy neurological and psychological development. Understanding
the behavioral health differences between adolescent males
and females can help to inform public health policy and build
prevention and intervention programs that strategically target
the different needs of adolescent males and females.

in treatment and (2) the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS),
which provides information on annual treatment admissions.
According to the 2006 N-SSATS survey:
• Ohio showed a 1-day total of 34,988 clients in treatment,
the majority of whom (32,001 or
91.5 percent) were in outpatient treatment. Of the total number
of clients in treatment on this date, 4,551 (13 percent) were
under the age of 18.
According to 2003–2006 TEDS data:
• Adolescent males accounted for 69.5 percent (16,275)
of the 23,410 total adolescent substance abuse treatment admissions.
• Of the total male admissions, 39.0 percent were drug
treatment admissions, 44.4 percent were alcohol and drug treatment,
7.4 percent were alcohol treatment, and 9.3 percent did not
report type of treatment.
• Of the total adolescent female admissions, 31.6 percent
were drug treatment, 46.7 percent were alcohol and drug treatment,
10.6 percent were alcohol treatment, and 11.0 percent did not

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

problem in the past year.
