• Of the 13,428 facilities responding to SAMHSA's 2000 National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) annual survey, 9 percent offered hospital inpatient care. 

• The primary focus of facilities offering hospital inpatient care was substance abuse for 33 percent of the facilities, both substance abuse and mental for 31 percent, general health care for 18 percent, mental health for 16 percent and "other" for 2 percent. 

• At least 90 percent of the facilities providing hospital inpatient care for substance abuse treatment also provided the following services:  comprehensive substance abuse assessment, individual therapy, group therapy, drug/alcohol urine screening, discharge planning, and referral to other transitional services. About 74 percent of the hospital inpatient facilities provided programs for persons with co-occurring disorders (substance abuse and mental illness).
