TEDS is an exceptionally large and powerful data set that covers a significant proportion of all admissions to substance use treatment. It provides episode-level data on clients aged 12 and older receiving substance use treatment services from facilities that are licensed or certified by their respective Single State Agencies (SSAs). TEDS collects data on client’s characteristics, substance(s) used, the type and duration of treatment service(s) received, years of education completed, and National Outcome Measures (NOMs). The NOMs presented in the report include stability in housing, employment status, criminal justice involvement, social support, retention in treatment, and abstinence. Data on past month abstinence verse the use of alcohol or drugs are presented in a separate section called morbidity status.
