*Low precision; no estimate reported. Notes: Respondents
were classified as needing treatment for an illicit drug problem
if they met at least one of three criteria during the past
year: (1) dependence on any illicit drug; (2) abuse of any
illicit drug; or (3) received treatment for an illicit drug
problem at a specialty facility (i.e., drug and alcohol rehabilitation
facilities [inpatient or outpatient], hospitals [inpatient
only], and mental health centers). Illicit drugs include marijuana/hashish,
cocaine (including crack), inhalants, hallucinogens, heroin,
and prescription-type psychotherapeutic (nonmedical use). |
