DASIS: Male Admissions with Co-occurring Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorders: 2005
Among male admissions reporting alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, or stimulants as the primary substance of abuse, those with co-occurring disorders were more likely than those without co-occurring disorders to report daily use of these substances. Sixty-two percent of male admissions with co-occurring disorders reported more than one substance of abuse compared with 52 percent of male admissions without co-occurring disorders. Male admissions with co-occurring disorders were more likely than those without co-occurring disorders to report five or more prior substance abuse treatment episodes (17 vs. 10 percent).
DASIS: Older Adults in Substance Abuse Treatment: 2005
Admissions aged 50 or older accounted for about 184,400 (10 percent) of the 1.8 million treatment admissions reported to the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) in 2005. Alcohol was the most frequently reported primary substance of abuse for all admissions aged 50 or older, but the highest proportions of admissions reporting alcohol as the primary substance were among those aged 65 to 69 and 70 or older (76 percent each). Admissions aged 50 to 64 had more extensive substance abuse treatment histories than admissions aged 65 or older.
DASIS: Marital Status and Substance Abuse Treatment Admissions: 2005
In 2005, over half (52 percent) of substance abuse treatment admissions aged 25 to 44 had never married, 28 percent were formerly married, and 20 percent were currently married. By contrast, in the Nation as a whole, data from the 2000 Census for this age range show 25 percent had never married, 14 percent were formerly married, and 61 percent were currently married. Admissions who had never married were more likely than those who were formerly or currently married to report daily use of the primary substance (44 percent vs. 39 and 36 percent). Substance abuse treatment admissions who had never married were more likely to have extensive treatment histories and less likely to be entering treatment for the first time than other admissions aged 25 to 44 in 2005.

Combined data for 2005 and 2006 indicate that 9.4 percent of young adults aged 18 to 25 (3.0 million persons) experienced at least one major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year. Among young adults aged 18 to 25 who had not previously used alcohol, those who experienced a past year MDE were more likely to have initiated alcohol use in the past year than those who had not experienced a past year MDE (33.7 vs. 24.8 percent). Among young adults aged 18 to 25 who had not previously used any illicit drug, those who experienced a past year MDE were twice as likely to have initiated use of any illicit drug in the past year as those who had not experienced a past year MDE (12.0 vs. 5.8 percent).

Combined data from 2004 to 2006 indicate that an annual average of 7.0 percent of veterans aged 18 or older experienced past year serious psychological distress (SPD), 7.1 percent met the criteria for a past year substance use disorder (SUD), and 1.5 percent had co-occurring SPD and SUD. Veterans aged 18 to 25 were more likely than older veterans to have higher rates of SPD, SUD, and co-occurring SPD and SUD. Veterans with family incomes of less than $20,000 per year were more likely than veterans with higher family incomes to have had SPD, SUD, and co-occurring SPD and SUD I the past year.

Combined data from 2004 to 2006 indicate that an annual average of 7.0 percent of full-time workers aged 18 to 64 experienced a major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year. The highest rates of past year MDE among full-time workers aged 18 to 64 were found in the personal care and service occupations (10.8 percent) and the food preparation and serving related occupations (10.3 percent). The highest rates of past year MDE among female full-time workers aged 18 to 64 were found in the food preparation and serving related occupations (14.8 percent), and the highest rates among male full-time workers aged 18 to 64 were found in the arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media occupations (6.7 percent).
