Highlights:

• "Psychiatric problem in addition to alcohol or drug problem" is a supplemental data set item collected by States for SAMHSA's Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS). Data from the 26 States that had a response rate of 75% or higher on this item in 2005 were used to examine substance abuse treatment admissions of males with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders.

• Male admissions to substance abuse treatment with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders were more likely than those without these co-occurring disorders to have started using alcohol and/or illicit drugs before age 13 (18% vs. 13%). The largest differences between first use before age 13 for the co-occurring vs. non co-occurring groups of male substance abuse treatment admissions were for alcohol (24% vs. 16%) and marijuana (32% vs. 23%).

• Among male substance abuse treatment admissions reporting alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, or stimulants as the primary substance of abuse, those with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders were more likely than those without co-occurring disorders to report daily use of these substances.

• Male substance abuse treatment 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%).
