The TEDS is an admissions-based system; if an individual is admitted twice in 1 year for treatment, it would be counted as two admissions in the TEDS database. TEDS data are collected from treatment facilities that are licensed or certified by the State substance abuse agency to provide treatment services. During 2002, five substances accounted for 95 percent of all TEDS treatment admissions: alcohol (43 percent), opiates (18 percent), marijuana/hashish (15 percent), cocaine (13 percent), and stimulants (7 percent). Although alcohol admissions were down from 1992, when it accounted for 59 percent of all treatment admissions, a full 45 percent of alcohol admissions reported a secondary drug of abuse. During 2002, 71 percent of alcohol admissions were White, 13 percent were Black, and 11 percent were Hispanic. Among those with secondary drug abuse, 59 percent were White, 26 were Black, and 10 were Hispanic. TEDS admissions for heroin increased from 11 percent in 1992 to 15 percent of all admissions to treatment in 2002. Approximately 69 percent of heroin admissions in 2002 were male, 48 percent were White, and 62 percent reported injecting the drug as opposed to inhalation or smoking. TEDS admissions for other opiates increased to 2 percent in 2002, up from less than 1 percent in 1992. Cocaine admissions declined from 18 percent in 1992 to 13 percent in 2002. Crack cocaine accounted for 73 percent of cocaine treatment admissions in 2002; 59 percent of these were male, 57 percent were Black, and 34 percent were White. Treatment admissions for marijuana increased from 6 percent in 1992 to 15 percent in 2002; 76 percent were male and 55 percent were White. Methamphetamine and other stimulant treatment admissions rose from 1 percent in 1992 to 7 percent in 2002; 55 percent were male and 74 percent were White. A separate race analysis reveals that among all racial/ethnic groups except Puerto Ricans, alcohol abuse was the most frequently reported drug of abuse at the time of admission. Tables, appendix
