Summary View help for Summary
The Treatment Episode Data Set -- Admissions (TEDS-A) is a national census data system of annual admissions to substance abuse treatment facilities. TEDS-A provides annual data on the number and characteristics of persons admitted to public and private substance abuse treatment programs that receive public funding. The unit of analysis is a treatment admission. TEDS consists of data reported to state substance abuse agencies by the treatment programs, which in turn report it to SAMHSA.
A sister data system, called the Treatment Episode Data Set -- Discharges (TEDS-D), collects data on discharges from substance abuse treatment facilities. The first year of TEDS-A data is 1992, while the first year of TEDS-D is 2006.
TEDS variables that are required to be reported are called the "Minimum Data Set (MDS)", while those that are optional are called the "Supplemental Data Set (SuDS)".
Variables in the MDS include: information on service setting, number of prior treatments, primary source of referral, gender, race, ethnicity, education, employment status, substance(s) abused, route of administration, frequency of use, age at first use, and whether methadone was prescribed in treatment. Supplemental variables include: diagnosis codes, presence of psychiatric problems, living arrangements, source of income, health insurance, expected source of payment, pregnancy and veteran status, marital status, detailed not in labor force codes, detailed criminal justice referral codes, days waiting to enter treatment, and the number of arrests in the 30 days prior to admissions (starting in 2008).
Substances abused include alcohol, cocaine and crack, marijuana and hashish, heroin, nonprescription methadone, other opiates and synthetics, PCP, other hallucinogens, methamphetamine, other amphetamines, other stimulants, benzodiazepines, other non-benzodiazepine tranquilizers, barbiturates, other non-barbiturate sedatives or hypnotics, inhalants, over-the-counter medications, and other substances.
Created variables include total number of substances reported, intravenous drug use (IDU), and flags for any mention of specific substances.

State laws require certain substance abuse treatment programs to report all of their admissions and discharges to the State. In all States, treatment programs receiving any public funds are required to provide the data on both publicly and privately funded clients. In some States, programs that do not receive public funds are required to provide data as well. On the other hand, there are some instances in which information is provided only for clients whose treatment is funded through public monies. TEDS collects this data from the States on all admissions and discharges aged 12 or older. TEDS-A presents only the admission data.

2013-11-27 Updated and released variable-level ddi file.
2012-07-19 The recodes for the variables DETNLF and DETCRIM have been revised to provide greater utility in using these variables in analysis. Also, in Appendix B of the codebook the recode table now shows the original percentages of each value for select variables.
2011-05-04 Cases where age was missing have been excluded from the dataset. Minor changes to some variable labels, value labels, and question text were made to better align the variables with the information presented in the TEDS Admissions manual.
2010-04-12 Improvements were made to align the data and question text with information provided in the admissions manual. Also, changes were made in the recoding of the variables for age, race, and pregnancy status. The variable SERVSET was renamed to SERVSETA to distinguish it from the service setting variable in the TEDS Discharge data.
2006-12-12 A new variable (alcdrug) has been added. The width of a few other variables was changed so that all TEDS studies are consistent. These changes affected the variable count as well as the LRECL.
2005-09-12 The data for this collection have been updated with a new data extract, current as of 4/11/2005. A new census-based geographic code CBSA (Core-Based Statistical Area) was added to the data file. The codebook has been updated to include related information regarding modifications designed to ensure confidentiality protection. SAS transport (XPORT) file, SPSS portable file, and Stata system file, with SAS and Stata supplemental syntax files have also been added.
2005-04-22 Minor changes have been made to the codebook.
2004-07-26 The data for this collection have been updated with a new data extract, current as of 3/01/2004. Corresponding Stata setup files have also been added. The primary, secondary, and tertiary substance codes now conform to the original substance codes and are no longer collapsed into fewer categories. The codebook has been modified to reflect these changes.
2004-02-24 The data for this collection have been updated with a new data extract, current as of 5/31/2003.
2003-02-28 The data for this collection have been updated with a new data extract, current as of 4/1/2002.
2002-10-04 The data file was updated to correct one coding error in the education variable (EDUC) and a few inadvertent omissions affecting selected variables in Arizona, District of Columbia, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. This should have little effect on previous analyses run on the full file.
2002-03-14 ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Performed consistency checks.
- Created variable labels and/or value labels.
- Standardized missing values.
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Performed recodes and/or calculated derived variables.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
