Alcohol and Drug Treatment Episodes and Admissions Data
The Treatment Episodes Data Set (TEDS) provides counts of patients that received services from state funded substance abuse treatment programs. States, in this case, the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA) report the TEDS annually to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Office of Applied Studies. Presently, Indiana DMHA does not collect discharge data, therefore they apply a formula to estimate the number of treatment episodes in a given year. A treatment episode is defined as the period between the beginning of a treatment service for a drug or alcohol problem (admission) and the termination of services. Termination of services was assumed for clients who had not been seen in 30 days 1. The episode data are organized by state fiscal year (SFY).
